Educational Materials
These popular educational materials provide a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to participation for the new and prospective volunteer. Written in straightforward language for a lay audience, educational brochures provide the groundwork for further exploration of patient questions and concerns. Companies report that these brochures ease the informed consent process and provide credibility for specific trials since the general educational component comes from a nonprofit organization.
- For those conducting trials in the US, the most popular brochure is Education Before Participation.
- For those conducting global trials, the US version of Education Before Participation brochure is translated and has country-specific resources.
- Targeted versions for minority readers use cultural sensitivity and ethno-medical values and beliefs to address the special interests of African-American and Hispanic readers.
- Our newest publication is sensitively directed to parents who are considering whether their children should participate in clinical trials.
