From UCLA Health Calling for diversity in clinical trials This month is National Minority Health Month, the perfect time to shine a light on an important issue: equity in clinical trials. UCLA Health researchers engage in more than 1,500 clinical trials at any given time. But patient participation in those clinical trials is still greatly limited, often due to cultural, social and socioeconomic factors, such as: Distrust of researchers Lack of knowledge about the process Logistical challenges, such as lack of transportation and child care Risk and potential negative effects of trials Without participants from underrepresented populations, experts cannot assume that the medical breakthroughs achieved through clinical trials apply to all races and ethnicities. Diversity in clinical trials is critical for improving health equity. To address the lack of diversity in studies, UCLA Health is exploring ways to reach underrepresented populations and engage community leaders. Think about participating in a clinical trial or other medical research if you are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC) or other underrepresented groups.

How can we improve diversity and inclusion in clinical trials in multiple sclerosis? This study involved an international workshop that developed recommendations such as cultural competency training, adaptivity in eligibility criteria, and community engagement in study design.

The NF Registry has a vital role in making NF research visible - not only is it a repository for patients to discover clinical trials, but researchers also use the data provided by patients to discover areas of need and inform new studies. The NF Registry is for all types of NF (including NF1, NF2-related schwannomatosis, and schwannomatosis), and is open to all populations, including any age, race, ethnicity, or gender. NF knows no boundaries, and understanding its impact across all types of people from all over the world, from childhood to adulthood, is essential to finding the answers that will improve the lives of all NF patients. In this video, researchers discuss the impact the NF Registry has had in their work to accelerate research and advance therapy development.

✨ Equalizer Highlights ✨ We’re highlighting the academic women who will be pitching their innovations at #Equalize2024 ! Kat Schmolly  Medical Student | UCLA Homepage:  www.zebraMD.org   How might your work impact the world? 🌎 🎙A point of care, EHR integrated clinical decision support system could help shorten the diagnostic delay for rare disease and give personalized evidence-based clinical management recommendations to prevent secondary comorbidities. Currently, the average diagnostic delay for rare disease is 10-15 years, even longer in rural and underserved areas. Inability to access specialty care is one of the most common reasons for this delay and mismanagement, and this is a problem we can solve with our Project Zebra.  ____ Bryn L.  NSF Graduate Research Fellow | University of Vermont Complex Systems Center Research Associate | Broad Institute Sabeti Lab  CEO/Co-Founder | Biobe Lab:  https://lnkd.in/eNYiCRYT Homepage: https://www.biobe.org   How might your work impact the world? 🌎 🎙I am passionate about addressing the gap in current pediatric and family care and envision the application of new data and physiology-based technologies within this space to revolutionize the modern mental health systems— starting when children have the highest chance of long-term success following identification.
