Addressing Demographic Disparities in Clinical Trials
By: Kathy Giusti, Richard G. Hamermesh and Mark Krasnow
Abstract
Disparities in health care are not just limited to the delivery of care. They also exist in the way that clinical trials are structured. Women, people of color, and the elderly often are not adequately represented. This article offers three strategies for addressing this deficiency: (1) know what “representative” means for your disease and set intentional recruitment goals; (2) use patient registry datasets as the basis for trials; and (3) go beyond traditional academic medical centers (AMCs) to access patients.
