#21: How does a patient feasibility assessment improve patient recruitment?

Answer:

A patient feasibility assessment helps ensure that recruitment strategies align with real patient experiences and needs, making it easier to enroll the right participants.

Here’s how it supports recruitment:

✅ Identifies potential barriers – Patients provide insight into challenges like travel requirements, time commitment, visit schedule and study complexity.

✅Refines inclusion criteria – Ensures eligibility criteria are realistic and do not unintentionally exclude willing participants.

✅Optimizes communication materials – Patient input ensures study information is clear, engaging, and easy to understand.

✅Targets the right outreach channels – Understanding patient preferences helps tailor recruitment strategies across digital and traditional platforms.

✅Builds patient trust – Involving patients early signals that their needs and concerns are valued, making participation more appealing.

A well-informed protocol design and recruitment approach reduces delays and increases enrollment rates, ultimately contributing to trial success.
