Summary

Recruitment of patients with schizophrenia to clinical trials is difficult and in an ongoing project different methods of recruitment have been used in order to recruit. One of the methods used have been sending potential participant to the study an invitation letter with information of the study and an invitation to make contact with a project nurse. Not many patients have replied.

The aim of this study is to examine whether a simplified version of the invitation Letter, in terms of information structure and written style will encourage more patients to make contact to a project nurse.
