The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center will welcome Jonathan Jackson, founder and executive director of the Community Access, Recruitment and Engagement Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, as its next speaker for the 2020-21 Kennedy Center Lectures on Development and Developmental Disabilities.
Jackson will present his virtual lecture, “The Challenge of Health Equity in Clinical Research,” on Thursday, April 1, from 4:10 to 5:10 p.m. CT.
In recent years, it has become clear that clinical research participation is more accessible to some populations relative to others. This lecture will provide the audience with an overview of inequities and barriers for clinical trial recruitment. The presentation will describe current research in recruitment and inclusion science, including a testable framework for future research as well as what investigators and study teams can do to minimize barriers to research recruitment.
