Medicine and Health Sciences

A new website from the National Institutes of Health may help you promote clinical trial participation. NIH Clinical Research Trials and You aims to educate patients and families about clinical trials, why they matter, and how to participate.

A section on The Basics answers questions like:

• What are clinical trials and why do people participate?

• What do I need to know if I am thinking about participating?

Volunteer Stories offers short videos of trial participants speaking about their experiences. Educational Resources links to information in Spanish, and special information about the participation of children and the elderly.

Information for healthcare providers includes:

• Talking to Your Patient about a Clinical Trial

• How to Refer Your Patient
