"It is imperative that we address the gaps in healthcare that prevent equal access to treatment and total well-being for all."
Clinical trials are research studies involving human volunteers to evaluate medical products like medications, vaccines, or devices for safety and effectiveness. These studies may also show which
medical products or therapies work best for people with certain illnesses or for certain groups of people. Ensuring people from diverse backgrounds join clinical trials is key to advancing health equity. - FDA, Office of Minority Health and Health Equity
