Screening Trials

Screening trials are specialized research studies that evaluate whether a medical test or screening method effectively detects a disease early, before symptoms appear. They involve testing a large group of people who show no symptoms to determine if the screening accurately identifies those with or at risk of the condition. The goal is to ensure the screening is reliable, safe, and beneficial, helping to inform healthcare recommendations. These trials are essential for assessing the benefits, risks, and proper use of screening tools, ultimately aiming to improve early detection and health outcomes.
