A study may involve clinical procedures such as an MRI, blood tests, hearing tests, etc. even though the purpose of the study is not to treat the individual for any health condition and does not involve treatment of any kind. Again, in these situations, the general rule of no right to access study records would be applicable. However, the researcher may decide, even if there is nothing in the study consent form that grants such a right, that he/she wants voluntarily to provide the test results to the participants. Subject to any contractual obligations, discussed below, this voluntary disclosure may be accomplished in three ways. First, the researcher may extract these results from the study record and give them to the participant. Second, if the researcher is not the treating physician and the participant gives their consent, the researcher could extract these results from the study record and provide them to the participant’s treating physician. Third, if the researcher is also the treating physician, the researcher may extract these results from the study record and enter the medical information in the participant’s medical record.

No, you do not have to be a US citizen to participate in a clinical trial. We also do not ask for your social security number. All we ask is that you have a physical address and some form of ID that we can use during the enrollment process.

Sure, you can refer any friend or family member who is willing to participate in a study, for more information click here!
