One more problems that hunt the progress of the medical trials is volunteer retention in the clinical trial. Medical trials run for the longer period of time and the trial participant’s retention in the clinical trial is very important in the progress of the trials. As stated in the informed consent the volunteer has right to quit the process at any desired point of time. Middle drop of the participant will hamper the progress of the medical trial. Both the money and the time invested in the process will go in wane and again the process has to be initiated from the start.
What is your action plan to retain the volunteer in the clinical trial? you should first understand the reason behind the turning back of the participant. Few researchers say, the belief of the clinical community about the role of the participant in the trial is passive makes him feel isolated in the process and he quits the trial.
The solution for the retention of volunteer participation is clear; we have to just embrace the participant as active partner of the clinical trial. Adapting such strategies will go a long way to resolve the retention problems in the medical trials.
