Clinical Trials Consumer Survey

Overview

Are you a Western Australian who has participated in, or is interested in joining (either for yourself or a person you care for) a clinical trial? Please complete this consumer survey. A clinical trial is a type of research study that gives researchers the opportunity to test new treatments, tests, or procedures that could help prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, or manage diseases or conditions. Participants in clinical trials voluntarily agree to be part of the study and researchers closely monitor their health outcomes. Clinical trials provide direct benefits to patients and their loved ones by generating the evidence required to make new treatments available. They also elevate research and innovation in the public health system, encourage attraction and retention of the skilled clinicians, and contribute to the economy by encouraging industry investment.

Why your views matter

This survey will help us to gather your insights regarding clinical trials in Western Australia. Your responses will help us understand how to improve capacity and access for Western Australians to clinical trials.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete, depending on the level of feedback you choose to provide. If you would like to pause and continue the survey at a later time, please select the “Save and come back later…” button at the bottom of the page. Your responses will remain confidential and will be used to inform the development of the WA Clinical Trials Roadmap. Development of a Clinical Trials Roadmap for WA is important to set the direction for the quality and capacity for clinical trials activity and inform the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund investments over the next 5 years.

What happens next
