It seems to be all going thru the Yale New Haven patient account portal now. I got an email about signing up - “opting in” to show interest, and had to check from a long list of study type categories which ones I was interested in being approached for.

They can use your medical data to filter for candidates , but they’d still have to contact you to ask about other qualifying conditions and exclusions.

I couldn’t see a way to apply for specific studies anymore - they contact you, not the other way around.

Had a similar experience myself earlier this year, FYI. Wish I had had read something like your comment before I dropped off all my boxes and known to try another route if I wanted to recoup any of the value of what I offloaded, so good on you for posting this here.

>The factors that allow someone to participate in a clinical trial are called “inclusion criteria,” and those that prevent someone from participating are called “exclusion criteria.”

>These criteria are based on factors such as age, gender, the type and stage of a disease, previous treatment history, and other medical conditions.

>Many trials need healthy volunteers. Participants who are healthy are often needed to provide information that can be compared with people who have a particular disease.

>It is important to note that inclusion and exclusion criteria are not used to reject people personally. Instead, the criteria are used to identify appropriate participants and keep them safe. The criteria help ensure that researchers will be able to answer the questions they plan to study.

Not sure what OP's goal is for wanting to participate in research studies, but the Yale Library also has a user research program that offers gift cards between $5 and $25 per study. The research is focused on users' experiences of library products and services- no doctor visits or medication, and most studies are done virtually.

If you're a Yale community member, you can sign up to participate here: usability.yale.edu/uxresearchlab
