Other info to think about when joining a study
The study team or the consent form might mention the term “study intervention.”
When you are learning about a clinical trial you should be given information about the study intervention which could be something you take (like a medicine) or do (like yoga) during the study to see if it has any effect.
You can always ask for more information about the study intervention the research is testing. You may also want to ask about the background of the study intervention and any prior research that was done that led to the researchers starting a new study.
