Increasing Black, Indigenous and People of Color participation in clinical trials through community engagement and recruitment goal establishment.
Longstanding social and economic inequities elevate health risks and vulnerabilities for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Engagement of BIPOC communities in infectious disease research is a critical component in efforts to increase vaccine confidence, acceptability, and upt...
