4359.0 Building Trust Between Minorities and Researchers

Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Oral
This session will describe the social and historical context which forms the Building Trust Bioethics Infrastructure Initiative at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. The initiative’s methods used to form an understanding of the barriers and facilitators to underrepresented minorities’ participation in medical research will be presented. The perceptions of minorities and researchers will be discussed as well as best practices in recruitment and retention as identified through surveys and in-depth interviews. Additionally, the session will discuss the next steps needed to inform curricula development for communities and research investigators to strengthen the capacity of investigators and communities to effectively work together for the purposes of increasing participation of minorities in research.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe historical factors leading to the development of human subject protections and federal mandates for inclusion in research; 2. Explain key factors that affect minority participation in research; and 3. Describe potential implications for education of community members, researchers and IRBs.
