Be a study participant
Clear answers first. Decisions second.
Joining a clinical trial should never feel like a leap of faith. Here is exactly what participation with Aspira Health involves — and what you can expect from us at every step.
Your rights
Four things that are always true.
You are protected
Every study is reviewed by an independent ethics board before a single participant enrolls.
You are never obligated
Participation is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time without affecting your regular care.
No cost to you
Study-related visits, assessments and study medication are provided at no cost to participants.
You are supported
Bilingual coordinators, appointment reminders and travel coordination where needed.
What happens
From first call to final follow-up.

A short conversation about your health history to see which studies might fit.
- 03
Informed consent
You receive the full study details in writing, in your language, and can take it home.
- 04
Screening visit
Study assessments confirm whether you are eligible. You may still decline afterward.
- 05
Study visits
Scheduled visits with your study team, with travel support and reminders.
- 06
Follow-up
Continued contact through the end of the study and any post-study follow-up.
Common questions
Questions we hear most often, answered plainly.
Will I receive a placebo?
Some studies include a placebo group. If a study does, it is explained to you in writing before you consent.
Do I need insurance?
No. Study-related care is provided at no cost, regardless of insurance status.
Can I keep my own doctor?
Yes. Your study team coordinates with your regular physician when appropriate.
Is my information private?
Your records are kept confidential and identified by code, not by name, in study data.
Se habla español?
Sí. Our coordinators in Ponce work in English and Spanish every day.
Participant experience
You are a participant, never a data point.
Bilingual staff, transportation coordination and a coordinator who knows your name and your visit schedule. You may withdraw at any time, for any reason.
Take the first step
Talk to a coordinator — no commitment.
Ask anything. If a study is not right for you, we will tell you honestly.
