Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Dear members and friends Follow-up visits are an essential part of clinical research, but preparation is necessary to ensure they run smoothly: Ensure the PI is available if there are any queries to be resolved. When necessary, have a translator available and ensure that all study materials are translated into the languages required (all these materials must be approved by the IRB/IEC). Send a reminder letter or phone the participant 2- 3 weeks before the follow-up visit. Phone the participant between follow-up visits to maintain contact. Ensure that the participant remains happy regarding their involvement in the study and answer any questions at each follow-up visit. Ensure that all study related procedures are completed at follow-up visits and that adverse event reporting is performed as specified in the protocol.
