Minority groups are underrepresented in research, making it difficult to apply medical advances with confidence. In this study, we explored whether community-based cancer education sites and educators serving the African American community could be used to recruit minority participants to research.
We invited Individuals at community education sites to provide buccal scrapings, saliva samples, psychometric data, and personal information anonymously.
Culturally aligned community sites (100%) collaborated in the research recruitment, as did 83% of the individuals at those sites.
Community-based education sites offer exceptional promise for teaching about research benefits and recruiting members of minority groups to research studies.
少数群体在研究中的代表性不足,这使得难以自信地应用医学进展。在本研究中,我们探讨了为非裔美国社区服务的社区癌症教育场所和教育工作者是否可用于招募少数群体参与者参与研究。
我们邀请社区教育场所的个人匿名提供颊部刮片、唾液样本、心理测量数据和个人信息。
文化上契合的社区场所(100%)参与了研究招募工作,这些场所中83%的个人也参与了。
基于社区的教育场所对于传授研究益处以及招募少数群体成员参与研究具有巨大潜力。
