Participate In a Study

Below is a list of surveys, studies and clinical trials focused on caregiving families dealing with chronic disabling health conditions, and health and service providers.

Study volunteers are needed by researchers to determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments or to gather data that can expand knowledge and ultimately improve the lives of caregivers.

We encourage you to read our fact sheet, Evaluating Medical Research Trials and Clinical Trials, and discuss participation in any trials or research studies with your personal physician.

Please note: endorsement of studies by Family Caregiver Alliance is neither expressed nor implied.
