Clinical Trial - Analyzing Participation Experiences Of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Clinical trial participation has always been substantially skewed toward certain demographic groups. However, there has been little study on whether trial qualities impact participation in either a positive or negative way. The goal of this research is to identify the characteristics that consistently restrict patients' ability to participate in or complete a trial in which they were initially interested. This data will be analyzed via a number of demographic lenses in order to find trends that could benefit future ALS sufferers.
