Understand clinical research and your rights

Short, plain-language guides for anyone taking part in a clinical study: what informed consent really means, your rights as a participant, what the trial phases mean, and how randomisation and placebo work. Free, and in your language.

This is general education about clinical research — not medical advice, and not a way to join a study. For decisions about your health or a specific study, talk to a qualified health professional and the study team.
