Visibility and Research Education in the Community

June 3, 2014 by The Corvallis Clinic

An important goal for the Clinical Research Center is to be visible in our community.  To help achieve this goal, the research department has attended local community health events such as the Diabetes Fair held at The Corvallis Clinic, OSU Gerontology Conference, Healthy Living Expo in Corvallis, and Live Well Expo in Albany.  We will continue having a presence at local health events like these to let the community know about our research program.  

Most people are intimidated about participating in clinical research mainly because they don’t know anything about it.  The idea of clinical research becomes much less scary when people have information, so I’ve developed a presentation titled “Clinical Research Demystified – What Everyone Should Know.”  I give the presentation to interested groups such as workplace wellness programs or patient advocacy organizations.  The objective of my presentation is to educate the audience such that if they or someone they know are approached about participating in a study they will have a basic understanding of the research process. 

When given a chance to learn about research studies and the processes involved, patients become more receptive to study participation. A 2013 study done by The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP) shows that 88 percent of those who have participated in a study say they would do it again (for more details on this report, click here.) 

We regularly survey our research patients after they have participated in our studies. Our recent results indicate that 100 percent of our patients have a favorable impression about clinical research and 100 percent of them would recommend trial participation to a friend or family member.  So, we must be doing something right! 

If you are interested in learning more about our current studies or have a group that might benefit from a research education presentation, please contact Josh at the Research Center at 541-754-1398, Option 7.
