Evaluating Clinical Trial Experiences of Individuals With Congestive Heart Failure

An In Depth Study Investigating Patterns of Patients In Congestive Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Clinical trial participation has always been substantially skewed toward certain demographic groups. However, there has been little study on whether trial qualities impact participation in either a positive or negative way. The goal of this research is to identify the characteristics that consistently restrict patients' ability to participate in or complete a trial in which they were initially interested. This data will be evaluated via a number of demographic lenses in order to find trends that could benefit future Congestive Heart Failure sufferers.
