It is essential for diverse populations to be represented in clinical research to improve treatment effectiveness and build trust in healthcare.

“it's really important for people that look like me to be heavily involved in clinical research because it also allows populations to trust right like you're going to go to your doctor you see that your doctor looks like you you're going to trust them more right so representation really matters”
