Outcomes from the Body Soul Clinical Trials Project: A university-church partnership to improve African American enrollment in a clinical trial registry

摘要

ObjectivesHistorically, African Americans have been underrepresented in clinical trials (CTs) compared to whites. A growing number of research institutions have created CT registries to match volunteers with appropriate studies. In a sample of 745 African Americans from 16 churches, we tested the impact of a culturally tailored intervention aimed at increasing enrollment in a university-based CT registry.
