Nancy Jarvis
Congratulations to Nancy Jarvis, winner of the Follow-Up Raffle for the fourth quarter of 2017! Jarvis and her late husband joined the MURDOCK Study several years ago, when they learned about the study while attending a car show. She was already familiar with clinical research studies because she was enrolled in a study of identical twins with her twin sister, who lives in Texas.
Jarvis, who lives in Concord, said she believes that the follow-up process is like a team project, and can hold back the study if participants don’t fill out their Annual Follow-Up Form. This can slow down the research process, she said.
Jarvis was a hairdresser for 30 years before becoming an administrative assistant for a private insurance organization that served the military, which she said she found very interesting.
She chose the new Kindle Fire as her prize and is currently reading books about politics.
