• We don’t assess whether a study is safe or appropriate for you, and we don’t determine eligibility. Only the research team can do that, after screening.
• No type of study, whether oral medication, injection or anything else, is inherently safe. Every study carries risks.
• Personal preferences mentioned on this site, such as types of studies the author chooses to avoid, reflect one participant’s comfort level and are not recommendations.

Before joining any study, read the informed consent document carefully, ask the study team your questions, and consider talking with your own doctor, especially if you have a health condition or take medication.

If you feel unwell during or after a study, contact the study team right away. In an emergency, call 911.
