Webinar: How to Encourage Latinos to Participate in Clinical Trials
Event Date & Time
December 14, 2021Location
Event Details:
Latinos represent 18.5% of the U.S. population, but are far less than 10% of those in federal cancer and drug studies.
This makes it hard for researchers to create treatments that work best for Latinos.
To address this issue, join us for a webinar, “How to Encourage Latinos to Participate in Clinical Trials,” at 11 a.m. CST on Dec. 14, 2021.
This is the first of a new webinar series, “Let’s Address Health Equity Together," a collaboration of the Salud America! program at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio, the Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio, and Genentech.
This Zoom webinar will help health care professionals understand the lack of Latino participation in clinical trials and explore strategies and system-changing advocacy actions to improve Latino enrollment in clinical trials.
“This webinar will help doctors, nurses, researchers and other healthcare professionals take action for diversifying clinical trials in South Texas and beyond,” said Dr. Amelie Ramirez, leader of the Institute for Health Promotion Research and the Salud America! program at UT Health San Antonio, who is the moderator for the webinar.
