Official title
Investigating Participation Behavior: An Observational Study in Mild Cognitive Impairment Clinical Trials
Overview
Participation in medical research usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of mild cognitive impairment patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future mild cognitive impairment patients.
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of patients who decide to enroll in a mild cognitive impairment clinical research. [Time frame: 3 months]
- Number of mild cognitive impairment study participants who remain in clinical study until completion. [Time frame: 12 months]
