Too often, the acknowledgment of race in clinical research is confined to a statement in the limitations section. In Ellis et al. (this issue), we see a significant deviation from this pattern. The study described the recruitment of Black adolescents into a clinical trial for diabetes management. Their aims were (1) to determine what outreach efforts are needed to recruit Black adolescents with diabetes and their caregivers, and (2) to determine if the degree of recruitment effort needed was related to demographic, diabetes-related, or family characteristics. The authors utilized the terms “expedited recruitment (ER)” and “prolonged recruitment (PR)” to characterize families. ER and PR families differed significantly in total number of recruitment contacts and the length of time to recruitment. Notably, family income was the only significantly different variable between ER and PR families.

评论：走向有种族意识的研究：承认结构性种族主义及其对临床试验中黑人青少年和照顾者招募的影响

通常，临床研究中对种族的承认仅限于限制部分的声明。在埃利斯等人。（这个问题），我们看到与这种模式的显着偏差。该研究描述了招募黑人青少年参与糖尿病管理的临床试验。他们的目标是 (1) 确定需要进行哪些外展工作来招募患有糖尿病的黑人青少年及其照顾者，以及 (2) 确定所需的招募工作程度是否与人口统计学、糖尿病相关或家庭特征有关。作者使用术语“快速招募 (ER)”和“长期招募 (PR)”来描述家庭的特征。ER 和 PR 家庭在招聘联系人总数和招聘时间长度方面存在显着差异。值得注意的是，家庭收入是 ER 和 PR 家庭之间唯一显着不同的变量。
