Its Sunday and we’re doing a long thread on past medical abuses against Black communities to try to help science Twitter understand why “trust” is not the goal – the goal is empowerment. #blacklivesmatterinhealthtoo
When we talk about representation of Black folks in #clinicalresearch, the term “trust” is often used. “Trust” is too big a barrier and it can easily go away. The feeling is, “We’ve tried, but it’s too hard.”
But leaving communities out of advances in medicine is not the answer – we’re seeing the deadly results of this in #COVID19. But, still, we need to talk about why there is a lack of trust and why that is deserved. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
