We’ve done something different for March’s Spotlight Podcast — while we are working on recording new STARR podcasts, we’re spotlighting other podcasts we thought you might be interested in.
A quick but very informative one, this first outsider episode is from NPR on providing holistic treatment services to people with schizophrenia.
We recognize that mental health clinical research is a particularly challenging area within research so we’ve brought together stakeholders from pharma, CRO’s, and sites to identify some obstacles and challenges unique to CNS research.
The STARR Site Certification is a result of these conversations.
WHY GET STARR CERTIFIED?
Leverage a greater network by engaging in the community and advocacy.
Increase subject retention and overall research success by promoting empathy and communication between site staff and patients.
Increase site staff’s overall job satisfaction and commitment by encouraging awareness and involvement in the bigger picture.
By becoming certified through the STARR Site Certification program, Sponsors and CRO’s are able to immediately identify research sites adhering to the STARR standards and best practices.
The Messaging Committee created a series of commercials to address the stigma of mental illness and promote research. These videos are available to Coalition members to use for website, social media, or television spots. We can edit your organizations information to the end of the spots. To see more videos, log into the Community Login and look in the Gallery.
