Poster Presentation
The Power of Education to Debunk Myths and Misconceptions about Clinical Trial Participation Among People with Diverse Racial and Ethnic Backgrounds
The 2022 Alliance Industry Summit (ASI) will feature our poster about the power of education to debunk myths and misconceptions about clinical trial participation among people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. The underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority groups in clinical trials is both an ethical and a public safety concern. A recent BlackDoctor.org survey found 60% of Black/African American people were not open to clinical trial participation. To help tackle these challenges, PlatformQ Health developed a digital education session in partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center, LUNGevity, BlackDoctor.org and Stand Up to Cancer. The session featured key opinion leaders, who broke down common myths about trials, including issues worries about receiving placebo drugs.
To be presented by Carole Drexel, PhD, Kathryn Pucci, MBA and Emily Bixler, MBA of PlatformQ Health and Jeanne Regnante of LUNGevity Foundation, the poster will highlight positive outcomes of the educational program. The session resulted in 18,232 engagements. After the session, 80% of participants agreed that it is important to include a diverse population of participants in a clinical trial to ensure medications are safe and effective for all. Behavioral changes resulting from the educational session included participants stating that they were more interested in participating in a trial if it was necessary and having an interest in talking to their PCPs and oncologists about clinical trial options.
This promising data supports the benefit of education to foster more equitable healthcare for patients from diverse backgrounds, and highlights the strength of partnerships to share trusted education with people who have traditionally been skeptical of clinical research.
