Réamhrá // Introduction

Fáilte chuig ár suíomh taighde! Is muidne Rang a Sé i nGaelscoil an Eiscir Riada, An Tulach Mhór. We were very excited to take part in this year’s START competition. We worked very hard on our clinical trial and were very excited to see what conclusions we would draw from our research.

What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are used in health research and consist for example, of trialing a particular method out with a control group and a test group to see what differences there are, if any. We learned about the key features of a clinical trial, such as the importance of a control group and a test group, randomisation of participants and how to analyse and represent findings.
