August is National Immunization Awareness Month and this year, staying informed about and raising awareness of vaccinations and the process behind developing new treatments is more important than ever. Immunization is an essential part of ensuring your family’s health as well as the public’s. To provide guidance and start constructive conversations surrounding new treatments and the clinical trial process, the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP) enlisted FableVision to collaborate on a new informational animated series. This series educates the public about the guidelines provided by government agencies to ensure a clinical trial is completed at a safe pace and how ongoing clinical trials adapt in the current environment.
Here at FableVision, we know the power that education and awareness can have on helping people make informed decisions. Clinical trials are the first steps in an ongoing process for health professionals to find new therapies and treatments that are safe and effective. CISCRP’s new video series features vibrant, research-based messages and animation about the clinical trial process, combined with live-action question and answer sessions with medical and clinical research experts to educate the public as to why therapies take as long as they do to develop. Together with CISCRP, we at FableVision hope that this Clinical Research Educational Video series will bridge the gap and improve communication between clinical researchers and the general public.
A Look Inside
Video 1: General Clinical Research Overview
Bridging the gap between research and lab work, the General Clinical Research Overview video highlights the importance of the role public health officials play in the clinical trial process to ensure safe and effective therapies reach the public. Following a patient's perspective through the four phases of a clinical trial, this video provides a better understanding of what is happening in the height of developing a vaccine for the 2020 global pandemic and features a Q&A segment led by Dr. Jonathan Jackson, Executive Director of the Community Access Recruitment & Engagement (CARE) Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Video 2: Basics of Clinical Trial Participation
So what are the Basics of Clinical Trial Participation? The second video in the series shares patient insights over the course of a clinical trial and details how patient safety is monitored. Designed to provide clarity and transparency to the process behind ongoing trials, this video provides a deeper look into the patient journey as health professionals work to adapt clinical trials to the current environment and maintain participant safety.
Video 3: The Clinical Research Team is similar to a Sports Team
The third video in CISCRP’s series works to educate the public on the most up-to-date medical information regarding clinical trials. Answering questions about study volunteer participation and who is involved in a clinical trial, this video brings to light how patient data is being collected and shared, the different roles and responsibilities of the clinical research team, and how those roles ensure that clinical trials are conducted safely and ethically.
CISCRP is a first-of-its-kind nonprofit organization that continuously works to provide up-to-date information in order to keep the public healthy and safe. FableVision is proud to partner with them and support their journey to build clinical trial awareness and ensure well-educated communities.
