Clinical Trials Need Women

Have you ever seen a friend who recently had major surgery and marveled at how quickly she recovered? Advances in medicine depend on clinical trials, and clinical trials depend on volunteers.

The majority of Americans have never volunteered for a medical study, and many of us may still have misconceptions about trials.
