This is the second video in a "UKNow In Depth" series on clinical research at the University of Kentucky. UK researchers, along with clinical trial participants, explain how clinical trials are designed, approved, monitored, and regulated by a large body of knowledgeable experts. They give an overview of myths such as "participants are treated as guinea pigs" or "a single researcher is in charge of each experiment" and reveal the facts about modern clinical research.
