“You guys certainly know how to make a person feel
comfortable. How many people can say they had ‘fun’ going through
all those tests and filling out all those forms. It made the hours go by so
much more quickly being surrounded by caring people in a pleasant atmosphere.”
--A BCM volunteer
“I wanted to join this study because I have no health
insurance. I am so grateful to get this level of clinical testing as part
of a research project…I could never have afforded to pay for all these
tests!”
--A BCM volunteer
“I appreciate this study because it gives women another
alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Women need to know their
options.”
--A BCM volunteer
“I
joined this study for several reasons…because I do not have health insurance
and sure, the stipend would be very handy. Also, it seemed to me it was about
time there was more research done on women’s issues and needs.”
--A BCM volunteer
“I consider myself so lucky to be able to be in this
study. I had no idea there would be any financial compensation. I’m
ok money-wise right now, so I am donating my stipend to a group that works
with low income children.”
--A BCM Volunteer
“Two volunteers moved out of state after joining the
study and thought so highly of the study they time their visits back to visit
with family and friends with the time to pick up the supplements!”
--A study coordinator
“In several instances the lab work being done on the
volunteers uncovered some serious clinical issues such as a thyroid condition,
high cholesterol, liver function abnormalities and, in several cases, severe
osteoporosis. If it had not been for the testing done for the study, these
health issues could have gone undiagnosed for some time.”
