Other info to think about when joining a study

The term “results” may appear in publications after the trial is completed and the study team has used the data collected to come out with their findings.

You can ask if and how the study team will share results with you when the study ends. If they will share, you can ask if you will get your individual information or if it will be a summary of the overall findings.

You can also ask if this information will be shared with your regular doctor.

In general, because research studies can take a long time to complete, it may take a while for study results to be finalized and shared. Feel free to ask about when the study team thinks the final study results will be ready.
