You’re invited to “Beyond Recruitment: Empowering Black Women to Participate in Clinical Trials to Drive Health Innovation” with Dr. Denise Bronner, PhD, Health Equity Advocate and Investor, and Kianta Key, Group Senior Vice President and Head of Identity Experience at GCI Health.

Black women’s underrepresentation in clinical trials, even those addressing health conditions that disproportionately affect Black communities, is a pressing issue. This disparity is often attributed to the perception that Black women are a “hard-to-reach” community and reluctant to participate in health research due to historical and contemporary distrust of the medical establishment. However, a recent report, “Layered: Black Women’s Perceptions of Clinical Trials,” provides insightful observations on Black women’s beliefs, attitudes and barriers to clinical trial participation, revealing the need for a more nuanced and multidimensional approach.

Join us on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, for a community conversation that digs into how health ecosystems can build trust among Black women and marginalized communities to participate in health research and explores the findings from Layered.
