Clinical Trials are important research tools to advance the evidence in infectious diseases. The SToP (See, Treat, Prevent skin sores and Scabies) and SNAP (Staphylococcus Aureus Network Adaptive Platform) Trial are two examples of how to embrace populations that are often excluded from research, including children, pregnant participants and First Nations populations.
