Getting participants to participate in your research is difficult, especially in oncology. Throw in the diverse perspectives, experiences, and the complexity of navigating cancer care, and it’s clear that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

So, how do we address the barriers to cancer research participation among patients, especially underrepresented populations? How do we create partnerships with underserved communities to foster more trust, greater recruitment, and better retention rates among these populations? Should participation in research be discussed in tandem with front line treatments as a patient begins their care journey in assessing and treating malignancy?

In this episode of People of Precision Health, we sat down with Porscha Johnson, PharmD, CPGx to address these questions.
