The Challenge of Recruiting for Mental Health Studies
Mental health trials are among the fastest-growing and most urgently needed areas in clinical research, spanning conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Yet despite demand, these trials often face the steepest enrollment barriers.
- Stigma around mental illness can discourage patients from participating.
- Strict eligibility criteria and frequent comorbidities drive high screen-failure rates.
- Many patients rely on caregivers for consent and support, while geographic and socioeconomic factors limit access to trial sites.
These challenges not only slow enrollment but also increase costs for sponsors and CROs.
Without a partner who understands the sensitivities of psychiatry recruitment, trials risk extended timelines, missed milestones, and underrepresentation of diverse patient populations.
