Meeting Patients Where They Are: Trials In Community-Based Populations

The patients most underrepresented in clinical trials are often already being served, however, just not by traditional research sites. Rural clinics and community health workers have deep, trusted relationships with the populations they serve, and populations research has historically failed to reach, and the opportunity is in meeting them there. This case study panel explores how sites have built sustainable collaborations with community health providers to bring trials directly to underserved populations — covering partnership models, how trust is established on both sides, and the operational realities of taking research beyond the traditional site setting.
