CT:IQ Health Consumer Survey

Topics:Consumer Engagement

CT:IQ are calling for input to their 2021 Health Consumer Survey.

An update from CT:IQ -

Do you want to help Research?

People involved in clinical trials and research studies help in the development of new treatments to manage various diseases and medical conditions, as well as contributing to research into a wide range of important social issues. Imagine if there was a clear and simple process making it easier for people to make an informed consent decision to get involved and help make a difference.

When a potential participant is invited to become part of a research project, they are given information about the research and a consent form to sign if they wish to take part. The document they are given is called a Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF).

CT:IQ (Clinical Trials: Impact & Quality) is a group of people from across the research sector with a common aim to get Australia thinking smarter about the design and conduct of clinical trials and social research. CT:IQ have begun work on “The InFORMed Project” focusing on redesigning and simplifying Participant Information and Consent Forms, to improve the experience of participating in research studies.

We value your input into our project and would appreciate you undertaking this short 5 minute survey.  The survey is open to people aged 18 and over.

It will not be possible to withdraw your responses from a completed or partially completed survey because we are unable to link survey responses to you as an individual.  You can choose to provide your contact details after completing the survey if you would like to remain informed about project progress or get involved in another way. All survey data will be stored on a secure One Drive for Business server.
