Why do people choose to participate in research?
People participate in research for several reasons Some hope to get the most advanced treatment available for mental and behavioral illnesses Others participate because they want to assist scientists in developing better ways to help people
Research is our best hope for understanding and treating mental illnesses Thanks to help from volunteers, medical researchers are learning more and more about the causes of mental and behavioral disorders, and are finding new ways to treat and prevent illnesses Without this important relationship between research participants and those studying their illnesses, it would be much more difficult to improve health treatments
Volunteers of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds are needed By having a variety of volunteers participate, researchers can learn how different people react to medications and other treatments For example, by studying the differences in men and women, researchers discovered that these groups have very different warning signs for a heart attack
