Combining cultural competence, community engagement, and structural research changes is essential to improve ethnic diversity in breast cancer clinical trials.
Do multilevel interventions combining cultural competence, community engagement, and structural changes improve ethnic diversity in breast cancer clinical trials?
Improving inclusion of ethnically diverse populations in breast cancer trials requires a multilevel approach and is crucial for health equity and the scientific validity of precision oncology.
Addressing disparities in clinical trial participation among ethnically diverse populations requires a multilevel approach. Interventions must combine cultural competence, community engagement, and structural changes within research systems. Improving inclusion is not only a matter of health equity but also crucial for the scientific validity and applicability of precision oncology across diverse populations.
Chávez-Vélez et al. (2026) studied this question. Combining cultural competence, community engagement, and structural research changes is essential to improve ethnic diversity in breast cancer clinical trials.
