The majority of clinical trials currently and historically do not include older adults or non-white participants. While more women are being recruited, their numbers are still limited. It is very hard to interpret trial results and apply them to older adults when their participation in clinical trials is limited. The focus of this article is the lack of clinical trial participation by persons of diverse races and ethnicities and the presentation of a model infrastructure grounded in community engagement that is proving to be effective in increasing the interest and participation of older African Americans in research.
目前和历史上大多数临床试验都不包括老年人或非白人参与者。虽然有更多的女性被招募，但她们的人数仍然有限。当老年人参与临床试验受到限制时，很难解释试验结果并将其应用于老年人。本文的重点是不同种族和族裔的人参与临床试验的不足，并介绍了一种基于社区参与的模型基础设施，事实证明，这种基础设施在提高老年非裔美国人对研究的兴趣和参与度方面非常有效。
