Promoting Inclusivity in Clinical Trials: The STEP UP Initiative
Clinical trials often unintentionally exclude under-served populations, leading to healthcare innovations that benefit only certain groups. STEP UP aims to change this by offering strategies to ensure clinical trials are more inclusive. It gathers insights from researchers, clinicians, patients, and the public to create practical recommendations that trialists can implement. Key areas include improving recruitment, embedding inclusive methods, and addressing barriers to participation. Through collaboration, STEP UP seeks to close gaps and promote health equity in clinical research.
