Understanding Your Care

Research Participation

Volunteering for a research study?

Patients have many reasons for volunteering for research studies. Some hope to improve care for future patients with health problems like theirs. Others hope to receive the newest treatments. Whatever your reason for volunteering, it’s important to make an informed decision about whether this experience is right for you.

ACP has developed an educational brochure for patients who are considering volunteering for a research study.
