Clinical trials are made possible because of people like you. Volunteer participation of both healthy and those diagnosed with dementia (or other illness) is the only pathway to advances in treatment. Clinical research and clinical trials open new doors to finding new and more effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat dementia. It is almost impossible for clinical research to find crucial answers without volunteers’ participation. Common motivations for trial participants include:

• To help advance science and the treatment of their condition
• To help others with their condition
• To obtain potentially better treatment
• To learn more about their condition and its treatment
• To receive information about the study results after the study has ended
• To feel part of a community
