Clinical Trial Participation

Most Americans say that clinical research studies are safe for participants, according to a new nationwide survey. However, 57% said they would have greater trust in clinical research information if the results were made available on a public Web site or registry. The survey of 1,000 adults was conducted last December by The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation and Opinion Dynamics Corporation. “The public clearly plays a vital role in clinical research,” said Richard Greif, project director for Opinion Dynamics.
