Engaging Diverse Communities in Clinical Trials

Advancing clinical research starts with engaging the community—especially those populations historically underrepresented. The best way to do that is through direct, meaningful connections. The Remington-Davis (RDI) team is out in the community, building trust and making sure that clinical trials are visible and accessible to all.

How we reach diverse populations

At RDI, our support of clinical trial diversity starts from within. Our team is made up of individuals from various cultural, racial, and religious backgrounds, helping us connect authentically with the communities we serve and empower health equity. Here are some of the ways we foster engagement:
  • Community Events
  • Wellness Clinics
  • Research Care Partners
  • Digital Engagement

Community Events

Community Events

We sponsor and attend local events throughout the year, from Juneteenth festivals to health fairs hosted by local food banks. Our active approach to community outreach also includes setting up presentations at places of worship, senior centers, and other community hubs to talk about our work and the benefits of clinical trial participation.

Wellness Clinics

Wellness Clinics

We periodically host wellness clinics at our facility. These free events provide essential health screenings such as pulmonary function tests (PFTs), cholesterol and HbA1c checks, and blood pressure monitoring. While promoting health awareness, the wellness clinics help us connect with potential clinical trial participants.

Research Care Partners

Research Care Partners

We collaborate with physicians and clinics to extend access to research opportunities. Our Research Care Partners Program provides an easy way for providers to refer patients for potential participation in clinical trials. Three clinics actively participate in the program, and those numbers are only expected to grow and further support our clinical trial recruitment.

Digital Engagement

Digital Engagement

Digital advertising further supports our engagement of diverse communities in clinical trials. Our targeted, IRB-approved advertisements on channels like Facebook, Instagram, and Google help reach people of all backgrounds, increasing access and awareness across socioeconomic and ethnic groups.

Our patient database has a nearly 37% diversity rate

White (non-Hispanic):
63.2%

Black/African American:
29.3%

Hispanic/Latino:
3.9%

Asian:
2.3%

Making clinical trials accessible at every stage

Beyond enrollment, we take steps to support a positive, convenient experience for participants:

  • Free transportation service helps eliminate barriers to participation
  • No-wait appointments ensure that patients’ time is valued
  • For fasting appointments like blood draws, food is made available
  • Evening and weekend appointments to better accommodate work schedules

We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where all individuals feel valued in the pursuit of advancing medicine.
