- The importance of diversity in clinical trials.
- Clinical trials are important for determining whether a new treatment or intervention is more effective than existing therapeutics. Trials can also identify ways to prevent and detect health issues.
- Diverse representation in clinical trials can improve health equity and advance scientific discovery. In order to ensure that life-saving treatments reach most of the population, therapeutics methods must be tested on a broad range of people. Diversity in clinical trials promotes efficacy and safety across different racial and ethnic populations.
- Communities prosper when people of diverse groups can be in good health in the areas where they live and work.
- A multifaceted approach involving community-based awareness and education can bolster recruitment efforts in creating a diverse cross-section of people.
