Volunteering for Clinical Trials

Please contact us at (813) 974-1404 to learn more about clinical research trials at USF Psychiatry. All study related visits, procedures, and study-medications are provided.
Why is Research so important?
Without medical research, medicine would not have made the advances that we enjoy today. For you and for future patients, research is essential. Volunteering for medical research provides participants with opportunities to contribute to society, to the community and to others who have health problems.

Who can take part in a research study?

Each research study has requirements about who can participate. Using specific requirements is an important principle of research that helps to produce reliable results. These requirements are called inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria explain exactly what kinds of people may participate, while exclusion criteria explain exactly what kinds of people may not participate. These criteria are often based on such factors as age, gender, medical history, current health and past medical treatments. Some research studies seek participants with specific illnesses or conditions, while others need healthy volunteers.
What is informed consent?
Informed consent is the process of learning the key facts about a research study before deciding whether to participate. The consent process continues to provide information to you throughout your time in the study. To help you decide whether or not to participate, the researchers and staff will meet with you to explain the details of the study. You should feel free to ask any questions and to tell them if you don't understand something. The research team then provides an informed consent document that explains details about the study, such as its purpose, its length, required procedures, and key contacts. Known risks and potential benefits are also explained. You may also take a 'read only' copy of the informed consent document home with you to review and consider.

If you decide to participate, you must sign the informed consent document. You will be given a copy of the document to keep. Informed consent is not a contract; by signing it you do not give up any of your rights and you can quit at any time. If you decide to quit, you should tell the research team.
How can I prepare for the first meeting with the researchers?

Bring a friend or relative along for support and to hear the responses to your questions.

Bring pen and paper to take notes.

You can ask questions or stop the discussion if you don't understand what is being said.

Make a list of questions to ask.

Parents often wonder what to expect when it comes to their child's development

Babies and toddlers grow and develop at their own pace, but there are certain activities - such as smiling for the first time, standing and taking their first steps - that your child should be able to do once they reach specific ages. These skills are called developmental milestones. If you're worried your child is not developing these skills on time, Early Steps can help.

Florida's Early Steps Program provides early intervention services to eligible infants and toddlers, from birth to 36-months, with developmental delays, disabilities and at-risk conditions. Children can be referred to Early Steps in various ways. Referrals can be submitted by anyone involved in the care of the child, including parents/caregivers and physicians. To be enrolled in Early Steps, your child must first be found eligible.

In addition to the eligibility criteria below, children with certain documented physical or mental at-risk conditions are also eligible for a limited scope of services.

Why did they decide to adopt?

"My adoption journey started with me being adopted when I was 9 years old. My parents gave me a life that I never could have dreamed of. A safe, loving home that, even at 39 years old, I still am so grateful for. Even though I tell them quite often, my parents will never truly know how grateful I am they chose me and how it impacted my life in such a positive way.

The one thing I quickly learned at such a young age was that you didn't have come from someone's body to be considered family. I always knew two things growing up; I wanted to make my parents proud of the child they stepped up for when they didn't have to and I wanted to adopt children when I got older. I wanted to make the difference in a child's life just as my parents did for me. So, why I can only hope my parents are proud of me, I know I have two of the most precious girls that grew in my heart, that have made me a mom!

What advice would the parent give to those looking to adopt? As for advice for parents looking to adopt, I would say this - Adoption can be the most precious gift that may take the most work you have ever done but it the most rewarding thing you may ever choose to do! The most surprising thing for people to hear is that I adopted as a single parent, twice! So, even if you are single and it is weighing on your heart to adopt, go for it! Children are the most precious gift and all children deserve a safe and loving home. I do think it's important to know, even once you adopt you are never alone. There have been many times I have reached back out to Partnership, with questions or advice, and I will say, they have always been there for me! My two girls have added so much joy in my life, I do not know where I would be without them. Being adopted myself changed my life, but having adopted twice as an adult has changed my life even more!"
