This 5-minute lay-friendly video was created by the European Communication on Research Awareness Needs (ECRAN) Project. The animation is available in 23 languages and is aimed at a lay audience, or those with little knowledge about clinical trials. The ECRAN group have also produced a great powerpoint presentation explaining clinical trial for patients(15-minutes).
Enjoy the film and discover how Clinical Trials work today.

Back in 1747, James Lind had never heard about clinical trials!
Lind was a Scottish naval surgeon, and he found himself on a Royal Navy ship full of sailors sick with scurvy. His ideas revolutionised our understanding of how to test which treatment might work best. His work not only saved lives on his ship, but laid the foundation for modern clinical trials (randomised controlled trials) as we know them today.
Every year since 2005, The European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network (ECRIN) has celebrated The International Clinical Trials’ Day (ICTD) at or around the 20th of May (www.ecrin.org) in order to commemorate the day James Lind started his famous trial (www.jameslindlibrary.org). ECRAN and ECRIN urge others to take up the habit of celebrating the ICTD.

Fabulous - literally! We would like to include this in a randomised study of how to equip parents, doctors, nurses and other clinicians as effective research partners in clinical trials of treatments in babies and children.

@Douglas_Badenoch Thanks William. I am sure the ECRAN team will be very interested to hear what they think of it. How do you think you'll use it? As part of an intervention? (Please don't say it's going to be the placebo!) ;-)

I like it too! We watched it as part of the learning process in the MOOC Theme group at EBHC2013. Good viewer response. We need these simple accurate messages to advance science and ethics in the public domain...thank you
