Can I tell anybody else that I am taking part in a study?

Yes. The study information is confidential but you are quite welcome to discuss the study with your friends, family/whanau and GP to help you decide whether to take place or not. You should also be aware that your employer or insurance company might ask whether you have ever had certain tests – if you’ve had these tests as part of a clinical trial you may be obliged to tell them and this might affect your employment or insurance status.
