Participate in a Study
Every day, researchers across Canada work to make primary health care better, more accessible, more effective, and more patient-centered. Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or someone with lived experience in the health system, your voice and experience matter.
Why Participate?
When you take part in a health research study, you help answer important questions about care and health outcomes that affect people like you.
Your participation may:
- Help improve care in your community
- Contribute to better treatments or services
- Support patient voices in how research is designed and delivered
All studies follow strict ethical guidelines to protect your safety and privacy.
What to Expect
Each study is a little different, but here’s what typically happens when you participate:
- You’ll receive clear information about the purpose of the study and what’s involved.
- You can ask questions and take time to decide if it’s right for you.
- You’ll sign a consent form if you choose to participate.
- Your involvement might include surveys, interviews, or sharing feedback. Some studies may involve reviewing your medical records (with permission).
- You can stop participating at any time. Your care won’t be affected.
*Participation is always voluntary.
