Why should I volunteer for research?

The WRIISC is committed to cutting edge research focused on responding to the deployment health related concerns facing Veterans of all eras. As part of the VA, the WRIISC joins the ranks of one of the nation’s leaders in health research. Thousands of studies are conducted at VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, and facilities each year. This research has significantly contributed to advancements in health care for Veterans and other Americans from every walk of life.

No one can predict whether or not there may be a direct benefit to your health or health condition if you take part in a research study. Participating in a research study may not help you personally, but your participation may provide information that will improve the lives of others in the future.

Loved this treatment. I hope that the results of this study will encourage other sites to offer this treatment.
Very much enjoyed the opportunity to provide feedback on what might work best when assessing Veterans with post deployment health concerns.
It is good to know that this research may help other service members like me.
