Abstract
Minority underrepresentation in clinical research is an ongoing dilemma that is an impediment to discovering the most innovative therapies for all patients. Additionally, the lack of engagement of underserved minority populations in clinical research limits these patients to traditional standard of care treatment, preventing the potential for innovative therapies clinical research may have to offer. Healthcare providers in underserved communities may struggle with a plethora of barriers they must strategize to overcome to increase access and awareness regarding clinical research for minority patients. Some of these barriers may include: mistrust, lack of awareness of clinical trials for minorities, socioeconomic issues, health literacy and education, and communication. These can be improved with planning, better trials for minorities, commitment to the community, and patient education.
