Abstract

Research is imperative to our understanding of how to shape clinical practice, in order to improve service delivery and patient outcomes. However, individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups are often underrepresented in research studies. Individuals from these groups can experience barriers to accessing healthcare, and can experience poorer outcomes and experiences, compared to the general population. Experiencing disparities in research can further exasperate health inequalities, and researchers need to consider the barriers to participation, in order to facilitate inclusivity in research. This webinar will be in the form of a panel discussion, and will include insights from Dr Jamie Studts, Dr Lee Green, and Dr Shoba Dawson, on the topics of cancer health disparities, community-based participatory research, and inclusivity in research. Overall, attendees will learn about the barriers that can impact participation in research and will gain insight into how to ensure research is representative of diverse and under-served populations.
