In Episode 74 of the Sarc Fighter Podcast we take a deep dive into the reality that Sarcoidosis in more prevalent in people of color, but they are less likely to participate in clinical trials. That's a problem for medical professionals who are trying to help solve the sarcoidosis riddle, to find more effective treatments and help more people.
Why is that?
Three guests join me today to talk about it. They share their thoughts and ideas about the reluctance of patients to participate often because of trust issues, and bias on behalf of medical professionals to recruit African Americans for trials.
- Dr. Ogugua Obi of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in North Carolina.
- Kathryn Washington, a sarcoidosis patient and member of the FSR ACTe Now Patient Advisory Committee
- Calvin Harris, sarcoidosis patient and a member of the ACTe Now Patient Advisory Committee
