Human Abuse Potential: Study Management

Human Abuse Potential (HAP) studies demand close analysis at every stage, from selecting the right volunteers to maintaining tight control over study execution. At Dr. Vince Clinical Research, these studies are conducted in a purpose-built research environment where inclusion and exclusion criteria are carefully evaluated, and protocols are actively managed from startup through closeout. In this presentation, Senior Study Manager Crystal Sounakhen offers a closer look at how target populations are defined, why precise eligibility criteria matter, and how experienced study teams keep complex HAP trials on track. Her perspective highlights the operational discipline required to generate reliable, defensible data in this highly specialized area of research.
