Many Americans don't know much about clinical research or how it benefits in the fight against major disease. Participants in clinical research projects are needed to help conquer diseases like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease and stroke.

Clinical research has helped reduce the percentage of Americans suffering from these major diseases. For example, heart disease is down 4.7 percent, cancer is down 1.8 percent, stroke is down 4.6 percent, diabetes is down 3.9 percent and influenza and pneumonia is down 8.4 percent (source: CDC National Center for Health Statistics Report August 19, 2009).

Participation in clinical research is down which is leaving a negative impact on the development of new drugs, cures and therapies.

ClinicalResearch.com is a new website for people who have little or no understanding of clinical research and the value it brings to society. Patients can look up ongoing or future clinical trials appropriate for their disease or condition and narrow them down to those close to where they live.
