| Customer Reviews:
"My personal experience
in losing a son in a gene therapy
trial exposed many very serious
flaws in the informed consent process.
This book informs the average human
being about what to expect and ask
when participating in clinical research.
It is a book long overdue." Paul
Gelsinger, From his 'Foreword' in
Informed Consent?/i>

"…A comprehensive
and balanced treatment of this important
subject, providing the research
participant with the information
and tools to make an informed decision.
A must read for research participants
and professionals alike." Carol
Saunders, Executive Director, New
England Institutional Review Board

Media Reviews:
"If you’re wondering
how medical research really works
or whether or not you or a family
member should participate in a clinical
trial, this is the book for you.
Under the auspices of the same publishing
house that issues the reputable
Physician’s Desk Reference
(PDR), the authors have provided
a comprehensive guide to the world
of clinical trials from the prospective
participant’s point of view."
Quest magazine, 2002

"This book is designed to
provide the necessary information
for patients, their advocates and
consumers to determine if they want
to participate and then identify
and carefully evaluate clinical
trials. The book includes chapters
on the clinical trial process and
finding clinical trials, asking
the right questions, and what participants
can do when things go wrong."
IRB Advisor, July 2002
