MultiCultural Research Participation
Improving medical care relies on new knowledge gained from research. Doctors now know that medicines may work differently than expected among men, women, children, and racial/ethnic populations. Because of this, it is more important than ever that all populations are represented in the research process in order to benefit future generations from all backgrounds.
