SMS Terms of Service

The Trial Terms Dictionary SMS Program is part of our Clinical Research Glossary. It sends occasional research vocabulary lessons, announces new glossary entries, and shares educational explanations of common study terms such as randomization, placebo, control groups, eligibility criteria, endpoints, study protocols, adverse events, and research ethics. Trial Terms Dictionary is not a research organization or healthcare provider, and messages never include study sign-ups, eligibility checks, or health advice.
