Help researchers find new care options for menstrual pain, menopause, & everything in between.
Research studies are projects where regular people with or without certain medical issues help test new ways to diagnose, treat, or address health conditions.
These are sometimes called "clinical trials" or "clinical studies." They are completely voluntary & have strict safety checks so no one is treated like a guinea pig.
People can volunteer, and might be asked to do as little as 1 blood test or more advanced treatment plans.

For years, women were not the focus of medical research studies.
Today, studies help you, researchers, & doctors search for things like:
Painless tests for endometriosis, fibroids, UTIs, & PCOS
Breast cancer drugs with fewer side-effects
New ways to navigate menopause
At Skylight Health Research, we ensure women are equally included in other studies too -- like research on weight loss, blood pressure, & more.

Different women volunteer for different reasons. Here are some of those reasons:
Shape medical care for the next generation of women.
Make sure your voice heard in research.
Receive special medical care for free.

Your voice should be heard by researchers & doctors.
Volunteering for a study helps ensure that your unique lifestyle, background, & biology is counted.
We're looking for women from the Burlington area because most medical research is done at in urban areas like Boston & New York -- but researchers need to know if things work well for every woman in every location.

Most studies never ask you to do that.
Research on new medical tests might only ask to swab your cheek with a Q-tip one time. Others only ask for surveys. A few might ask you to test a new drug as a pill, nasal spray, shot, or something else.
Whether it's taking a short or just completing a survey, you will never be forced to do anything you don't want to do.
Before you sign up, you'll be told exactly what a study is looking for women to do.
Even if you volunteer for a study, you can change your mind later -- no questions asked.

If we have a research study going on that you might be a fit for, we'll call or email you with more information.
If we don't, we can keep an eye out for new for you and contact you when those start.
Remember, filling out the form is not a promise to join. You can always say yes or no to any study.
