To find behavioral and social sciences-related items, type “behavior,” “social science,” or other related terms in the Text Search box provided.
Protocol Template for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research
The Protocol Template for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research is a resource for communicating the science, methods, and operations of a clinical trial. This template is a suggested format for clinical trials that are testing a behavioral or social intervention or experimental manipulation. Use of the protocol template is encouraged but not required.
