Annabelle South talks about why sharing results is important and how the Show RESPECT study tested different ways of sharing results with participants.

Clinical trials depend on people volunteering to take part, often at increased risk or inconvenience. Research shows that most trial participants want to know what the trial finds, but many never get to find this out.
