I went to participate in a study and tried to call in advance to find out the study requirements. For a day and a half, no one answered the phone. So I decided to just drive down, but had no idea what documentation I needed to bring. Also, it would have been nice to know to stop certain over-the-counter medications in advance, esp those that are not prescribed on a on-going basis. After spending an entire morning going through the screening process, I was told I could not participate in the study. Had someone just answered the phone, these details could have been shared, and I could have simply waited 24-hours to come in and screen. Instead, I donated 3.5 hours of my time to be turned away. No loss for them, but when trying to pick up extra $, its a big deal for me.
