Recruiting people, both healthy volunteers and patients, to take part in clinical research can be challenging, as many people lack understanding of what clinical research is and how it would benefit them and others in the future. Although information about clinical research is provided on many websites, some of them are quite complicated, which could be a barrier for the public to understand what it is and how they can get involved.
In order to improve the public’s understanding and knowledge of clinical trials, we’ve produced a simple infographic, explaining what clinical research is and how it works. Using a simple graphic and less text makes the content easy to understand and enables us to reach wider range of target audiences. Since posting it on our website and social media channels, we’ve recieved a lot of positive feedback, so we’d like to share it with you.
