Ep 2.23: Jill Fikowski on Why Participants Drop Out and What to Do About It (3/3)

In the final episode of our three-part series with Jill Fikowski, founder and CEO of Changemark Research + Evaluation, we get into one of the most persistent problems in clinical research: retention.Jill unpacks why participants drop out and it's rarely what sponsors assume.  From there, we get into the pressure that lands on research coordinators when enrollment is behind, the practices that pressure produces.

And solving them starts with a question most teams never ask.Part 3 of 3.
