Gary Ventolini,1 Breanna Goodwin,1 Courtney Woody21School of Medicine, 2Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Odessa, TX, USAAbstract: While performing medical research we often spend little time addressing patient's views on how research participants perceive the trial will affect their own condition. This manuscript identifies various ways in which the field of medicine must approach the important subject of patient's outlook. The described approach is vital to succeed at achieving meaningful patient's involvement in research.Keywords: human, trials, involvement, insights, options
