Let's Talk Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials and Diabetes
Innovations in healthcare start here
Clinical trials are a critical step to develop new treatments and better outcomes for people living with diabetes. Who matters most to make clinical trials successful? You.
Historically, clinical trials have lacked the diversity reflected in our society. We hope to help change this.
Join us as we take a look at the history of clinical trials, talk about gaps in diversity, and show you how you can get involved. Let’s talk clinical trials.
The Math Isn't Mathing
If clinical trials don't study everyone, they can't help everyone.
To make sure everyone is included, medical institutions are working to build trust and increase access to participate, including paying participants for their time. Now, we need more people signing up to be involved.
25%
In 2020, just 1 in 4 participants in US clinical trials identified as Black, Hispanic, or Asian.
42%
According to 2020 US Census data, 42% of the United States is made up of people from non-white ethnic backgrounds.
