Asking differently may change who signs up for PAD exercise study

NCT ID NCT04536038

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether asking people to "opt in" or "opt out" of a clinical trial changes how many people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) actually join. Over 5,000 adults with PAD were contacted by email. The goal was to see which approach leads to more enrollment and whether it changes the types of people who sign up. No treatment was tested—only the way the invitation was worded.
