MAPLE Patient Information Leaflets
Making trials more accessible through better patient information leaflets: The MAPLE project
Patient information leaflets (PILs) used in clinical trials are often lengthy, complex and have poor readability. This can impose a barrier to research participation. The MAPLE project aims to provide researchers with resources to support an inclusive, accessible and layered approach to information provision. The accessible PIL does not replace the need for further information to be provided and is not designed to be used as a stand-alone source of information for patients.
The accessible PIL has been populated with an example trial and includes sections which will require tailoring to your trial. To support this, the accessible PIL is designed to be used in conjunction with guidance. Please refer to the MAPLE website and guidance for more information.
The MAPLE resources were co-produced by people from racially marginalised backgrounds many of whom speak, read or write languages other than English, people with learning disabilities and/or autism, patient and public involvement partners, charity representatives and researchers.
