What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

WHEAT-Boost is a Study Within A Trial (SWAT) that aims to improve how families are recruited into neonatal research studies by testing a new way of sharing information. The study is embedded within the larger WHEAT International Trial, a randomized clinical trial being conducted in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across Canada. The WHEAT International Trial investigates the best way to manage feeding around the time of blood transfusions in very premature infants (born before 30 weeks of pregnancy). Recruiting families for research in the NICU is challenging. Parents are often stressed, overwhelmed, and unfamiliar with how clinical trials work, which can make it hard for them to process complex medical information and decide whether to take part. Traditional consent methods, such as paper forms, may not be enough to ensure families feel informed and comfortable with participation.
