Jean Hailes Research Register
|
|
One way that women can contribute to the Jean Hailes Foundation is by volunteering to participate in the important research studies we conduct.
The Jean Hailes Foundation Research Unit is continually recruiting participants for a variety of research projects including women that may have had particular experiences or previous diagnoses or women that are healthy, without any particular previous medical history.
Some of our studies require attendance at our clinic or research unit however others simply involve phone interviews or surveys so women from all over Australia are able to participate.
If you sign up to the Jean Hailes Research Register, we will contact you when a study comes up for which you might be eligible to participate. Participation is completely voluntary and you are free to decline involvement at any stage.
