CTTI directors Pamela Tenaerts, Bray Patrick-Lake, Leanne Madre, and Matthew Harker authored an article featured in Clinical Trials, a Mediaplanet supplement to the December 18th edition of USA Today. The article “Throwing Your Hat in the Ring?” appears on page 4 and makes a general call to the American public for increased awareness of and participation in clinical trials. CTTI highlights the importance of clinical research and encourages Americans of all walks of life to consider participating in them. The article dispels the myth that an individual must be ill or of a certain demographic population to be a trial participant; everyone can and should participate in clinical research.
Medical advancements rely on clinical trial data, and the data cannot be generated without willing participants. Let’s all pitch in so we may all reap the benefits. CTTI recommendations can help the advancement of clinical trials.
