Study Results

Research couldn’t happen without people volunteering to participate, but those people haven't always gotten a chance to hear about the results when the study is completed. At Duke we're making sure that changes for our research and participants. Here you can find plain language summaries of the results for studies done at Duke.

You can look for studies by searching for the condition or the researcher's name to find specific information. Or you can just check out the newest results we've shared. It's all about learning how to improve healthcare and make progress in medicine.
