Oh, the Baddies are in the research now.

💅🏾📚 Not just participating. Not just being surveyed. Not just being talked ABOUT. We’re helping shape the questions, collect the stories, interpret what we’re hearing, and put our names on the research. FTBOU co-founders Jasmine Souers and Marissa Thomas are co-authors of “Seen, Heard, and Still Missing: Understanding Clinical Trial Nonparticipation Among Women of Color.” And whew…the title says A LOT. Women of Color have been telling healthcare and research communities what keeps us from clinical trials. Now there’s even more data to back up what we’ve been saying. THIS is Making spACE. THIS is advocacy. THIS is why lived experience belongs at the research table. We’re incredibly proud of this work and everyone who trusted us enough to share their experiences. Thank you to our community partners @theinsighters_ for helping to bring this research to life and Dr. @dr.cbel for believing in our work to help make this important conversation available for all to read and study. For the Breast of Us Community, this is a big one!! 🔗 Read the newly published research at the link in bio. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21565333261479352 #ClinicalTrialDiversity #BreastCancerResearch #HealthEquity #PatientAdvocacy #ForTheBreastOfUs
