Can learning about trials be child ’s play? A qualitative exploration of the ‘Schools Teaching Awareness of Randomised Trials’ (START) initiative

ConclusionsIncreasing public awareness and understanding of randomised trials can help increase public engagement in trials. By educating children about the importance of trials and supporting them to ‘learn by doing’ by carrying out their own trial, the START initiative can contribute substantially to children’s awareness and understanding of trial processes. Given that children are the public, the patients and the researchers of the future, initiatives such as START deserve attention.
