Overcoming Barriers: Recruiting Indigenous and CALD Patients for Clinical Trials

Overcoming Barriers: Recruiting Indigenous and CALD Patients for Clinical Trials

Despite CALD Australians representing almost a third of the population, they are often excluded from clinical trials research within Australia. Barriers can include mistrust and a lack of comfort around the clinical trials process, a lack of information and resources, time constraints, financial burden, and geographic location.

Dr Rob McNeill is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Auckland, and we spoke to him about his research into the challenges of recruiting Indigenous and CALD patients to clinical trials.
