Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

24.8K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.6K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

5.1K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.9K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches01:23

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

196
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare research
  • Clinical trial recruitment
  • Participant engagement

Background:

  • Many individuals are willing to participate in future research studies.
  • Current practices often fail to capture or retain participant consent for future contact.
  • Lack of accessible contact information hinders re-recruitment efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the challenges and opportunities in re-contacting past healthcare research participants.
  • To identify strategies for improving the process of engaging individuals for future research.
  • To enhance overall research participation rates through better participant retention.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing experiences in recruiting individuals previously involved in healthcare research.
  • Analyzing barriers to accessing participant contact information for subsequent studies.
  • Proposing practical strategies to facilitate re-consent and re-engagement.

Main Results:

  • Participant willingness to be re-contacted is high but often not solicited.
  • Existing data management systems frequently lack mechanisms for easy access to contact preferences.
  • Successful re-recruitment requires proactive and systematic approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic methods for capturing and managing participant contact preferences are crucial.
  • Streamlining the process of re-contacting past participants can increase study enrollment.
  • Facilitating future research participation requires dedicated infrastructure and clear protocols.
