Ensuring Ethnic Minority Participation in Clinical Research: Practical Applications from the Pacific Rim

Sponsored by: Behavioral Sciences, Geriatric Oral Research, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
Description: NIH policy requires the inclusion of women and minorities in clinical research as an ethical principle of justice. Emphasis is placed on ensuring that approaches to recruitment and retention in studies be conducted in a manner that assures that no group is unduly burdened and that no group unduly benefits. Epidemiologic and behavioral studies, outcomes and health services research, clinical trials and studies that focus specifically on health disparities are included in this requirement. This symposium focuses on the lessons learned by researchers on approaches to the recruitment and retention of participants from diverse backgrounds, and across the life span, to clinical research. The symposium will draw from the experience of researchers in Pacific Rim countries, from NIDCR Centers for Research to Reduce Oral Health Disparities, and from clinical studies among populations in these countries. Topics to be discussed included ethical approaches to recruitment, use of incentives, informed consent, monitoring, and involvement of the communities that are recruited
