"Make equity non-negotiable in research
Underrepresentation across sex, age, pregnancy, disability, migration status and socioeconomic disadvantage in clinical research is more than an ethical concern: it's a barrier to safety and reproducibility that exacerbates biases in care, argue a group of biomedical researchers and lawyers. The group has developed the EQUITRIAL framework to provide a metric for representation in clinical trials and a template for translating ethical aspirations into practice. The ‘inclusion by design’ approach looks to work within current clinical trial systems and allows representation to be audited and corrected."
