Communities of color and diverse communities (eg, race, socioeconomic status, language, sexual orientation etc.) have not been recruited and enrolled equitably to participate in research studies in transfusion medicine. The exclusion of diverse communities in transfusion research can lead to health disparities lack of access to approved therapeutics and unequal allocation of interventions, resulting in missed opportunities to optimize health for individuals and communities. Involvement of diverse populations in research goes beyond inclusion as research subjects. Strategies should include specific studies on health conditions of importance to diverse communities with stable funding sources and specific funding announcements to develop projects led by diverse researchers, mentorship of diverse researchers, and openness to various ways of communicating research plans. Qualitative approaches and interdisciplinary collaboration should be supported to enhance inclusivity.
在输血医学研究中，有色人种社区和多元化社区（如种族、社会经济地位、语言、性取向等）并没有被公平地招募和纳入参与研究。在输血研究中排除多元化社区可能导致健康差距、无法获得批准的治疗方法以及干预措施分配不均，从而错失优化个人和社区健康的机会。多元化人群参与研究不仅仅是作为研究对象的包容。策略应包括针对多元化社区重要健康状况的具体研究，具有稳定的资金来源，并专门发布资金通知，以开展由多元化研究人员领导的项目，为多元化研究人员提供指导，并对各种沟通研究计划的方式持开放态度。应支持定性方法和跨学科合作，以增强包容性。
