Three New Studies Give Clear Guidance On How To Better Recruit Volunteers For Alzheimer's Clinical Studies

Partnering with local physicians, working with local clinics, conducting educational seminars and health fairs were found to be the most effective tools in recruiting people for clinical studies "Clinical trials are very important. Not only do they drive forward dementia research but people who participate in clinical trials often experience positive benefits. Despite this a very small number of people are given the opportunity to participate in a dementia research trial. We must invest in clinical trials and use the unique value of the NHS to improve patient access to clinical trials. This will allow new treatments to reach people with dementia as soon as possible. "Communication is also key. It is important to ensure that people are given practical information about available trials and realistic advice about selection."
