@emilycob @bunmiogungbe09 @AnaghaP19 @JAHA_AHA @ErinMichos @nih_nhlbi We need more recruitment research focused on inclusive enrollment. The AHA is going to be announcing a strategic network specifically on this topic soon! https://t.co/3PT4uUETeb #JAHAJC 3/4

@emilycob @JAHA_AHA @bunmiogungbe09 @spjuraschek @ErinMichos Ultimately, it is critical to clearly identify roles for authorship early in the trial design process and ask community members how they would like to be acknowledged for their work. 3/3

[Anagha Prasanna @AnaghaP19]

@emilycob @JAHA_AHA @bunmiogungbe09 @spjuraschek @ErinMichos The process of peer-reviewed publication can seem like a black box to community members, especially when we still struggle to disseminate trial results back to participants. Offering individual authorship can also be difficult when large community groups are involved. 2/3

@emilycob @bunmiogungbe09 @spjuraschek @JAHA_AHA Calculating these metrics also requires researchers to appreciate how the burden of cardiovascular disease varies among racial/ethnic groups. 3/3

@emilycob @bunmiogungbe09 @spjuraschek @JAHA_AHA We hope that setting a numerical target can provide the momentum for researchers to outline specific strategies aimed at diversifying recruitment. 2/3

@bunmiogungbe09 @spjuraschek @JAHA_AHA @AnaghaP19 For all of these strategies, one thing seems clear: investigators need concrete targets.

This is proof that student advocacy and pressure can work. Never let anyone tell you that you can't push an institution to change and be better.

One more step in the right direction from
@harvardmed but the journey and work must continue

Excited to see how EMR trial recruitment pairs with community-based outreach strategies to increase representation in clinical trials

#Blacklives are underrepresented in clinical trials. Our paper led by Dr. Hailey Miller demonstrates how multiple strategies are critical to address racial disparities and promote more inclusive research.
