Patients often have misconceptions about clinical trials that could
influence their decision to participate. Dana-Farber, in collaboration with
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center, has produced an audiovisual program and educational
booklet to dispel these misconceptions. Using their own words, patients and
clinicians explain what clinical trials are and offer suggestions to help
patients decide whether or not to enroll in a study.
