ClinicalTrials.gov is the openly available federal registry and results database of publicly and privately funded clinical studies conducted in the United States and around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov is a vital resource for researchers, healthcare providers, patients and their families, and health sciences librarians who wish to consult the entire body of evidence on any particular topic. Learn how health sciences librarians can advocate to clinical researchers the importance of complying with the results submission requirements mandated by federal law.

This presentation addresses increasing health information access and use, along with increasing health equity through information by highlighting information about the National Library of Medicine’s ClinicalTrials.gov database.

  • Explain the significance of ClinicalTrials.gov
  • Search and interpret the results database
  • Identify and describe the number of study records with results
