UNC Study: Determining Reliability of Triclosan Measures in Pregnant Women

Rounding up a large number of research subjects to come to the lab to give a urine specimen can be a daunting task. Asking them to come back repeatedly to give more specimens over several weeks usually results in some of the subjects not showing up or perhaps dropping out of the study altogether. Each request for a repeat visit holds the risk of reducing the subject pool. Every subject who drops out before the study has been completed represents lost time and money for the researchers.
