Below is a short summary of the article written by our Senior Partner Roger Legtenberg, called “Embracing Empathy: A Game Changer for Participant Recruitment and Retention in Clinical Trials?“
By genuinely understanding and connecting with individuals living with a disease, researchers can address the unique challenges they face and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for their involvement in clinical trials. Moreover, empathy fosters trust between researchers and participants, enhancing communication and understanding throughout the entire process. As a result, this empathetic approach not only improves the overall quality of clinical trials but also promotes greater representation and diversity within the medical research community.
