Description
Olivia Short and co-authors interview pragmatic trialists about what helps and hinders fair clinical research. Pragmatic trials, run in everyday care settings, promise evidence for underserved groups, but equity practices lag. Their 2026 qualitative study draws on twelve interviews inside a national trials collaboratory.
Four themes emerged from the conversations. Funding clocks often strangle the slow work of building community trust. Teams sharing identities with their study populations advance equity naturally. Trials thrive when community priorities steer the questions, not just recruitment. And flexible interventions keep diverse participants engaged. Equity, they conclude, must be designed into every phase and budget line.
