Project I.M.P.A.C.T.

Prevention, treatment, screening and quality of life are all types of clinical trials.

A detailed action plan for a clinical trial is referred to as a protocol.

You can ask the researcher any questions related to the study.

Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are made up of only the researchers conducting the study.

In most clinical trials, patients receive free care related to the research study.

There are no safeguards in place to prevent abuses, such as what happened during the syphilis trial at Tuskegee from happening again.

Once you volunteer to participate in a clinical trial you cannot leave the trial until it is completed.

A placebo is something that looks like a drug/treatment, but does not actually contain any medicine or offer possible treatment.

There may be some risks involved in participating in a clinical trial.

You can refuse to join a clinical trial.

Research studies are paid for by sponsors.
