Clinical Trials

As part of enrollment in the Healthy Lifestyles clinic, you may be asked to participate in one or more studies. Your participation is completely voluntary and will not affect your child’s care in the clinic. Some of the studies may seek only to follow your progress, some may involve additional blood tests, and some may offer new and promising treatments. If you have any questions regarding these studies or your child’ eligibility, please contact Diana Dolinsky at dolin004@mc.duke.edu.

If you would like to recruit patients from the Healthy Lifestyles clinic for your research, or would like to complete a research internship, please contact Diana Dolinsky at dolin004@mc.duke.edu.
