We may also use the information to help us to reduce instances of duplicate accounts being created.

I have registered but cannot log in to the portal?
Please check to see if you have received an ‘account approved’ email from us. Please also check in the junk folder of your inbox too for that email.

Can I be identified by anyone from the information I provide whilst participating in your studies?
No. All data entered on our studies is done so anonymously. You cannot be identified from any answers that you provide as all data is consolidated.

Where can I find your privacy policy?

When I log in, why is some of my personal data on my profile page ‘starred out‘?
We take the protection and security of your personal data very seriously. For security, our system automatically replaces elements of your personal data that is stored online with asterisks.

How do I update any of my personal data?
To update any of your personal data, please log in to your account. Go to the “my profile” page and then go to the relevant personal data tab that you want to update.

Why does my updated personal data sometimes not appear immediately?
Updates to your personal data will usually appear immediately within your profile. However sometimes the data you have provided may need to be reviewed by our project management teams for verification purposes. The updated data will appear on your account once that verification process has been completed. We will contact you if we require any additional information to complete the verification process.

Why does the name of my medical specialty show differently on my profile compared to the details I provided during registration?
We may apply a standardised medical specialty description so that we can contact you for the correct studies. Please contact us on info@42mr.com if your medical specialty is not available from the options available.

Why does my title show differently on my profile compared to the details I provided during registration?
Our system may apply a standardised title description compared to the one you provided at the time of registration. Please contact us on info@42mr.com if your title is not available from the options available.

Why does a medical specialty display a “Verification Pending” message in my profile section?
Our system will verify every request to add another medical specialty to your profile. You will see the “Verification Pending” message shown alongside the medical specialty that you have requested to be added to your profile. The ‘Verification Pending’ message will become a hyperlink if we require further information to complete the verification of that medical specialty. Please click on that hyperlink to provide us with any details that we may require to complete the verification process.

Why do the medical specialty descriptions in my profile display in different colours?
Our system will verify every request to add another medical specialty to your profile. Medical specialties that have been verified will be coloured with a green background in the ‘My Profile’ section. Medical specialties that have not yet been verified will be coloured with a yellow or blue background in the ‘My Profile’ section. Medical specialties coloured with a blue background indicate that you need to provide us with further details to complete the verification process. You can remove any medical specialty from your profile by clicking on the ‘edit’ button and then clicking on the ‘x’ of the medical specialty that you wish to remove. Click on the ‘submit’ button to confirm the removal of that medical specialty.

If you have just created your account there may be a delay before studies begin appearing.

There may also be no studies showing if we are not running any studies that are relevant to your medical specialty at this time.

Why does a study not have any option to participate?
New studies matching your medical specialty will show in your account. The ‘participate now’ button will not display if the study has not yet started. However you can already indicate if you are interested in that study. You can also inform us if you are not interested in that study.

I have a question relating to a specific study. How can I let you know?
If you need help on a specific study, simply click on the corresponding “help” button in the “live studies” section and let us know your query. You can also use the “enquiry” form in the “contact us” section or send us an email on info@42mr.com.

I have started a study. Can I stop and and then come back to complete it later?
The majority of studies will allow you to start and stop whenever you wish. If a study only allows participation in one sitting then we will make this clear within the “more details” information for that study. When you wish to continue with any study, log in to your account and go to the “live studies” tab. The study you have started will be in the “Studies that you have already started” section. Simply click on the “continue” button for that study.

Please note that sometimes a study will finish before you are able to continue. In that instance you would no longer be able to participate. Please always try to complete every study in one sitting to avoid missing out.

I started a study and then stopped before I completed it. The study no longer shows in my account. Why?
Occasionally we may complete all of the required interviews before you are able to continue with the study. That study will then disappear from your account. In that instance you would no longer be able to participate. Please always try to complete every study in one sitting to avoid missing out.

Can I refuse to participate in a study?
Participation in studies is completely voluntary. You can refuse to participate in any study at any time. Login to your account and go to the ‘live studies’ tab. Click on the ‘Not Interested’ button for any study that you do not want to participate in. You can also let us know the reason why you are not interested in that study. Then click on the ‘submit’ button. The study will then move to the “not interested” section in case you change your mind and wish to participate. The study will disappear from the ‘live studies’ tab once it has finished.

A study shows in the ‘not interested’ section of my ‘live studies’ screen, however I have not said I am not interested in that study. Why?
If you indicate on one study that you are not interested in participating as that topic is not your area of interest, our system will immediately check for any other studies that share the same subject topic. If it finds any, it will then also immediately indicate that you would not be interested in those studies as well because that topic is not your area of interest. This will also mean we do not continue to send you reminders about those studies. Should you change your mind and do wish to participate in those studies, you can still do so by accessing those studies from that section. The study will disappear from the ‘live studies’ tab once it has finished.

Why do studies disappear if I have not yet participated?
The study will disappear from the ‘live studies’ tab once it has finished or if the study is cancelled.

Why do studies disappear even if the deadline has not yet been reached?
The study will disappear from the ‘live studies’ tab once we have completed the required number of interviews.

The study will also disappear from the ‘live studies’ tab if the study has been cancelled.

I have completed a study but it does not show any more. Where can I find it?
Studies you have completed will move automatically to the ‘finished studies’ tab. You will also see the current payment status for those studies in that section.

Studies will disappear if you were not able to complete it due to quota or statistical or device related restrictions. Studies may become available to you again if any of these restrictions change before the deadline date.
