Can a simple survey fix clinical trial diversity?
NCT ID NCT06735469
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · 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 this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design future clinical trials that better recruit and retain participants from underrepresented groups, making research results more applicable to everyone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a survey study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not translate into actual changes in recruitment, and preferences may vary across different populations.
