When Asked: "Ever Done a Clinical Trial Before?" during the phone screening what do you usually say? How do you go about this question? They may follow that up with "where?"

I made the mistake of telling them 'yes' once. Then I was asked to detail EVERY SINGLE STUDY I had ever done and GIVE DATES. I have been doing studies for like years.. probably over 40 studies... psssht! Who remembers that... who keeps records of all that... not me! Just tell them no.... your screening will be 17% faster and you'll be 49% more likely to make panel. Haha... like my bogus statistics?

This is why I say, " Study? what you mean study? ".

Haha. But what if it's a clinic you've already been to? You have no choice but to say "yes."

Well.. then tell them you've only done studies at their location.

What about carbonated beverages? You guys all say "no" even if you drink them occasionally? Are they mainly asking that because they don't want you to have caffeine in your system when you screen? Or is it the soda itself and not the caffeine.

I just tell them I drink a couple cups of tea a day, because that is all that I drink regularly. I drink cola sometimes, and I eat chocolate 2 or 3 times a month, but this is occasional consumption.
I really only tell them about the tea just to have soing to tell them, so they don't think that I am full of **** because I tell them I don't eat or drink anything and I have no illnesses and I have no surgeries and there is nothing wrong with me.
