Our scientists and staff aren’t the only ones who make breakthroughs happen. Many clinical trials would not succeed without patients, families, and individuals who volunteer to participate. See three little-known facts about participating in clinical research studies at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia:
- Most studies don’t involve drugs or devices. They include questionnaires, games, and learning about child development.
- You don't have to travel to CHOP to participate in research. Some of our studies can be completed from home!
- Knowledge gained through research helps improve the health and well-being of children in our community and around the world.
