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.

We wanted to test how common it is for uninjured children to have the same level of strength and balance in both legs, and then determine how this information should guide decisions about when it's appropriate for kids to return to sports after an injury.
This observational study was done to let doctors and other medical providers know why young athletes typically come to visit them. We analyzed every visit student-athletes made to an athletic training room clinic at Duke over the course of 5 years.
