HEAR WHAT
PARTICIPANTS SAY

Personal Benefits

[The study] gave us as partners something exciting to do together."
"It was the first study I've ever participated in, so it was exciting. It also helped me realize some things about myself I've never paid attention to before. The free supplies were nice too!"
"Being part of the study was interesting and I became more knowledgable about the precautions one needs to take to reduce chances of pregnancy."
"We really appreciate the movie tickets and compensation. I learned a lot about my sex life with my husband by filling out the reports."

Helping Others

It was interesting to know that I helped with the future of birth control."
"[I liked] seeing/having input on products that aren't on the market yet. It would please me if I saw the new condom appear on the market with changes that I suggested might make it better. [I] also liked the availability of late appointment times."
"[I liked] feeling like we made a difference and that our input was important. Felt like we were participating in something really important."
"I appreciate you guys being here. This is almost like giving blood in the sense that I feel like I am helping someone out there."

Compensation and Free Supplies

I liked being a part of the study. I also like the fact that I didn't have to purchase condoms!"
"[It was] nice getting movie passes and condoms for doing what I would normally do."

Friendly Staff

Thank you all for your help and for giving us such nice people to work with. Our consultants were wonderful and very friendly."
"The 'customer service' was of best quality. Every single person, whether on the phone or in person, was always friendly and welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves and would have fun possibly doing this again."
