Melissa Fassbender, of OutSourcing-Pharma, published an article about a SubjectWell survey on Clinical Trial Awareness and Attitudes. For those surveyed: 50% are not aware of clinical trials and 57% could not recall any advertising for clinical trials.
The lack of awareness suggests that pharma and even CRO’s need to get the word out to the public when rolling out clinical trials. Many people who have an interest in being part of advancing science are not aware of what studies exist. Have ideas on increasing the awareness of the importance of clinical trials and how to volunteer? Let us know.
