These are some questions that should be answered before a volunteer decides whether to participate in a clinical trial:

• Why is the study being done?
• What are the medicines involved?
• Who will be in charge of my care during the trial?
• Will my regular doctor or nurse also take care of me?
• What will be expected of me?
• What are the risks?
• How might I benefit from this study?
• If I don’t join the study, what other choices do I have for receiving my treatment?
• Who will know about my participation?
• Who will see my research records?
• When the study ends, will I still get the medicine if it’s helping me?
• What will happen if I change my mind after joining the study?
