There’s a great new resource available for study teams interested in making research material more accessible to research participants. The Health Literacy in Clinical Research web site went live this week. This site contains a wealth of tips and resources intended to guide study teams to present information in an understandable way.
Professor Christopher Trudeau, UAMS TRI’s current group leader for Regulatory Knowledge and Support, co-chaired the workgroup that created the web site. The group was hosted by the Multi-Regional Clinical Trial Center at Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
The website gives information about general principles of health literacy in clinical research, and that’s just the beginning. There’s a case study library, a guide to consent, discussion about cultural considerations in clinical research, and much more. We encourage you to take a look around the site.
