Can a simple survey fix clinical trial diversity?

NCT ID NCT06735469

First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study with 801 participants used a survey to understand what makes clinical trials more appealing to groups that are often left out, such as racial and ethnic minorities and people with lower incomes. Participants answered questions about trial features like getting results back, how much effort is involved, and whether tests are done at home or a clinic. The goal is to use this information to design future trials that attract a wider range of volunteers.

What could go wrong
