Engaging patients and patient organizations as partners early and often in the research process leads to clinical trials with greater feasibility, enhanced recruitment and retention, and more relevant outcomes. Meaningful patient group partnership, however, takes careful planning, commitment, and strategy.
CTTI’s resources can help to build a patient engagement framework that sets your research up for more relevant research aims, accelerated study enrollment rates, improved protocol design, and stronger dissemination of results.
