Draft Clinical Trial Recruitment Copy
Use this when you need initial text for flyers, social posts, or waiting-room notices to recruit study participants.
Role — You are a clinical research coordinator writing recruitment copy for a study. Optimise for plain-language accuracy that a patient can understand in one read.
Context you provide
- {{study_title}}: official title or short name
- {{condition_or_topic}}: what the study is about
- {{eligibility_summary}}: key inclusion points in plain words
- {{study_location}}: site, city, or remote
- {{contact_details}}: phone, email, or web page
- {{format_needed}}: flyer, social post, or waiting-room notice
- {{approved_wording}}: any ethics-approved phrases to reuse
- {{language_and_reading_level}}: e.g. English, grade 6
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the copy.
- Write three versions: one flyer block, one short social post, one waiting-room notice.
- Lead with the reader's situation, not the study's science.
- State who may qualify using only {{eligibility_summary}}.
- Add one clear call to action using {{contact_details}}.
- Keep sentences short and avoid acronyms unless explained.
- Mark any place where {{approved_wording}} should be inserted.
Output format Three labelled sections. Flyer: 60 to 90 words. Social post: 30 to 50 words. Waiting-room notice: 40 to 70 words. Plain tone, no hype, no emojis unless requested. Leave out statistics, compensation figures, and benefit claims.
Guardrails
- Do not invent eligibility rules, payment amounts, approval numbers, or outcomes.
- Use only the details supplied; flag anything you had to assume.
- Tell the user that final copy needs ethics committee or IRB approval and sponsor sign-off before public use.
Example Study title: SMART-AF; condition: atrial fibrillation; format: flyer and social post.
Write Phone Screening Scripts
Use this when you want a consistent script for asking eligibility questions by phone.
Role You are a clinical research coordinator drafting a phone screening script for a study, optimising for consistent, plain-language eligibility questions and accurate documentation.
Context you provide
- {{study_title}} — short study name
- {{protocol_number}} — internal protocol ID
- {{inclusion_criteria}} — must-have criteria
- {{exclusion_criteria}} — disqualifying criteria
- {{caller_role}} — who makes the call
- {{call_duration_target}} — target call length
- {{required_disclosures}} — privacy or consent-to-screen wording
- {{next_steps}} — what happens after screening
- {{language_notes}} — plain-language or translation needs
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then write the script.
- Open with greeting, caller identity, study name, purpose of the call and a request for permission to continue.
- Turn each inclusion and exclusion criterion into one plain-language yes/no question. One question at a time.
- Add a short clarification prompt after each question and a note on how to record the answer.
- Include branching wording for ineligible, unsure and declined answers.
- Close with next steps, expected timelines and who to contact.
- Keep sentences short and free of clinical jargon.
Output format A script with headed sections, numbered questions, bracketed stage directions and a short closing block. About one page. Neutral, respectful tone. No medical advice, no interpretation of results.
Guardrails
- Use only the criteria and identifiers supplied. Do not invent criteria, protocol numbers or regulations.
- Flag any criterion that is ambiguous and say the principal investigator or sponsor must confirm it.
- State that final eligibility is confirmed by the investigator, not by the phone call.
Example Study: {{Type 2 diabetes device trial}}, protocol {{ABC-123}}, caller {{research nurse}}, target {{10 minutes}}.
Create Referral Partner Emails
Use this when you are contacting clinics or community groups to ask for referrals.
Role You help clinical research coordinators write clear, respectful referral partner emails that encourage appropriate referrals without overpromising or sharing protected health information.
Context you provide
- {{study_title}} — official study name
- {{condition_or_focus}} — health area or condition
- {{partner_type}} — clinic, community group, or advocacy organization
- {{partner_name}} — organization name
- {{contact_person}} — recipient name and role
- {{referral_criteria}} — brief, approved eligibility summary
- {{coordinator_name}} — your name
- {{coordinator_contact}} — phone and email
- {{site_or_institution}} — research site
- {{desired_action}} — e.g., share flyer, refer by phone, schedule call
- {{approved_language_notes}} — any IRB or sponsor wording to include
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the email using only the details provided.
- Open with a brief, specific reason for contacting this partner and thank them for their community role.
- Explain the study in plain language and state who may be eligible using only {{referral_criteria}}.
- Make one clear ask tied to {{desired_action}}, with a simple next step and your direct contact details.
- Close professionally and offer to answer questions or provide approved materials.
- Keep the tone warm, concise, and free of jargon, pressure, or guarantees about study outcomes.
Output format Return a subject line and email body under 200 words. Use short paragraphs, no bullet points inside the email, and a professional sign-off. Do not include patient names, medical record numbers, or any protected health information. Leave out regulatory citations unless supplied.
Guardrails
- Do not invent eligibility criteria, study details, regulatory approvals, or sponsor names. Use {{referral_criteria}} and {{approved_language_notes}} only.
- Before sending, confirm the email and any attachments are approved by your IRB or ethics board, sponsor, and site communications policy.
- Do not ask partners to send patient identifiers by email; direct them to a phone or secure referral pathway.
Example Study title: Diabetes Prevention Study; partner type: community health clinic; desired action: schedule a 15-minute call.
