What do you know about clinical trials?

The Explain Initiative, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), seeks to create a repository of animations that be easily accessed by the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) registered clinical trials units. These animations will aim to make sure that everyone who might be suitable for a clinical trial is given the opportunity to learn and understand what it is about if they wish to participate. 

Clinical trials units (organisations used to deliver trials in a professional manner) in the UK take widely different approaches in the delivery of information. The Explain Initiative plans to identify at least three topics that patients and members of the public feel would benefit from short Explainer Animation. These Explainer Animations will be freely available for all trials units across the network to use. 

At the first stage of this project, the Explain Initiative team is asking for the views of those who have taken part in clinical trials and those involved in designing, managing, and recruiting to clinical trials to help identify the key topic areas for which explainer videos should be created by filling out this this survey.
