Review the main ideas about finding people to be in a research study. Be sure to ask any questions you have about the main ideas.
-
Eligibility criteria are the characteristics and experiences that people need to be in a research study.
- This includes the characteristics and experiences that people must have (inclusion criteria) and must not have (exclusion criteria) to be in a research study.
- Only people who have all the characteristics and experiences on the list can be in the research study. This list is different for every study.
Practice using these ideas with the “putting it into action” activities.
Your team can choose to do add-on activities related to recruitment and eligibility criteria.
