September 2007 media reports on "professional drug testers" finally prompted the DOH to publish guidelines on the recruitment of subjects for clinical drug trials. These guidelines strictly prohibit the placing of recruitment notices on the grounds of schools of middle-school-age and younger children, and bar notices from stating or implying that the drug being tested is safe or effective.
不過，衛生署在 2007 年 9 月媒體揭露「職業試藥人」事件後，發佈了「藥品臨床試驗受試者招募原則」，嚴禁在國中以下的校園刊登招募廣告，並嚴禁廣告明示、暗示該試驗中的新藥安全、有效。
