The Greater Houston Community (GHC) consists of 9 counties and one of the most ethnically diverse metropolitan regions in the U.S.

 

这个问题

Underrepresented ethnic minorities (URMs) are more likely than other groups to struggle with diabetes, 高血压(高血压), 癌症, 肥胖, 血脂异常(高胆固醇), and more recently COVID-19 leading to more complications and even death. Clinical trials are important opportunities to advance treatment options for diseases that disproportionately impact ethnic minorities. 临床试验的障碍 s 参与包括:

  • 不信任
  • Little/no access to information about clinical trials/research
  • 健康 insurance status (uninsured/underinsured)
  • 的法律地位,
  • 语言和文化障碍

Without clinical trial involvement, treatment decisions will remain a healthcare challenge. Increased participation and diverse representation are is key to closing the health disparity gap s.
