Expanding Access to Clinical Trials
10:30 AM - 11:20 AM
259 A

Nearly 40% of the U.S. population is ethnically and culturally diverse, yet African Americans and Hispanics account for only about 5% of clinical trial participants. This lack of representation—rooted in historical mistrust and systemic barriers—contributes to misdiagnosis and poorer health outcomes. In this session, Amy will explore the future of clinical trials, focusing on the changes needed today to drive equity tomorrow. Topics include the role of partnerships, reducing barriers to participation, increasing disease awareness among women, and the evolution of clinical trials to better include underserved communities through policy and practice.
