Communicating results to trial participants

Offering trial results to the people who took part in the trial is an ethical expectation of trialists, and is starting to become a legal obligation for some trials and settings. But actually doing it is not straightforward. Trialists face many barriers, including logistical challenges, insufficient resources and lack of clarity on how it should be done. It may be particularly difficult when the results to be communicated could be viewed as bad news for some participants. In this webinar we will hear from researchers working in Africa and Asia on very different trials about how they shared results with participants, and have a talk summarising general principles and a practical framework to guide our practice.

WATCH RECORDING: INCREASING ACCESS TO TIMELY HAEMOGLOBIN RESULTS:UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF POINT-OF-CARE TESTS (HELD ON 18 DECEMBER 2023 10:00-11:00AM BST)

Access to timely haemoglobin test results is vital for managing patients with severe anaemia. However, in many places it can take hours to receive haemoglobin test results, or the tests may often be unavailable. Point-of-care tests have the potential to provide swift results to enable clinicians to decide which patients require blood transfusions. Despite this, they are not yet widely available in hospitals in low- and middle-income countries. This webinar will explore the potential of these devices for improving outcomes for people with severe anaemia. It will cover a systematic review of which tests are currently being used in low- and middle-income settings, including the challenges around their use. It will also include the perspective of a clinician working in a regional referral hospital around how point-of-care haemoglobin tests can facilitate timely clinical decision-making, improving the chances for children with severe anaemia.
