How To Properly Pre-Screen For A Clinical Trial
Clinical Trials In Latin America Interview Pt. 1
Today’s video features guest guru Valentina Jaramillo, who currently resides in Argentina and works within the clinical trials industry. Valentina hails from Colombia and has a wealth of experience and knowledge on clinical trials in Latin America. Valentina is affiliated with http://www.investigacionclinicalatam.com and is also the founder/moderator of a popular twitter chat #hcsmla which discusses all things related to health care and social media with a Latin American flavor. As you can tell from this interview, Latin America has made tremendous progress in the area of clinical trials, however, just like in the Unites States, the topic is still somewhat mysterious to the general public. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview soon!
Finding A Clinical Trial May Take Some Effort
We’ve been getting a lot of questions from potential study participants that are upset because they have recently been turned down for a clinical trial. Don’t give up, many times a study participant may have to call different clinics in order to finally come across a study that they can qualify for. This is not uncommon, but due to the fact that there are so many studies out there, most people will eventually find a clinical trial that they can qualify for if they are persistent enough.
What Happens When You Call A Clinical Trial Clinic?
A lot of people learn about clinical trials from television, radio or print ads. Have you ever wondered what happens when you actually call the number from the ad? Chances are, the number leads to a research clinic, and the person on the other end of the phone may ask you certain questions to determine whether you may qualify for any of their clinical trials. While some of the questions they ask may be personal, I explain how this information is usually necessary to determine whether or not you actually qualify for a study. In the industry, this type of questioning is called “pre-screening”. Let us know if you’ve ever been pre-screened and how your experiences were.
