Improving Representation in Clinical Trials and Research: Building Research Equity for Women and Underrepresented Groups
ISBN: 9780309278201 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The United States has long made substantial investments in clinical research with the goal of improving the health and well-being of our nation. There is no doubt that these investments have contributed significantly to treating and preventing disease and extending human life. Nevertheless, clinical research faces a critical shortcoming. Currently, large swaths of the U.S. population, and those that often face the greatest health challenges, are less able to benefit from these discoveries because they are not adequately represented in clinical research studies. While progress has been made...
