Overcoming Challenges in Psychiatry Clinical Research
Psychiatry clinical research involves distinctive challenges that make it difficult to achieve reliable study outcomes. For many drug developers, these hurdles hinder their ability to bring new and effective treatment options to patients who need them. These common challenges include the diversity of psychiatric disorders, the subjective nature of diagnosis and the strong placebo effect obscuring the true efficacy of interventions. Moreover, poor medication adherence and patient retention issues often undermine the reliability and effectiveness of these clinical trials.
In this webinar, expert speakers will dive into these critical challenges and explore innovative solutions designed to enhance the accuracy and reliability of psychiatry clinical research, including but not limited to:
- The use of innovative medication adherence services, which are crucial in reducing placebo impacts as they promote consistent and accurate medication use among participants
- Leveraging community partnerships to build trust in the community and enhance participant engagement and retention, leading to more reliable and comprehensive data
- Implementing effective strategies for managing placebo responses, improving patient recruitment and retention, and leveraging the power of lived experiences to advance mental health research
