What is a clinical trial? According to www.ClinicalTrials.gov , “A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about vaccines, new therapies or new ways of using known treatments. Clinical trials (also called medical research and research studies) are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work in people” (January 2, 2003). Clinical trials are crucial to further understanding of suicidal behavior, the impact of suicide upon society, and the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs and efforts. Clinical trials provide helpful information for non-health care and health care providers alike. Persons at risk for suicide are prospective candidates for participation in a clinical trial while all stakeholders can potentially benefit from the suicide prevention research endeavors in the United States and internationally. |
