BETTER Center
Three synergistic projects that build from each other, test the effects of recruitment and consent approaches on the diversity and representativeness of trial enrollment, and use complementary methods to evaluate individual and area-level markers of social disadvantage.
Each year we will support clinical fellows and undergraduate students to pursue a program of didactic training and hands-on research to build skills in behavioral science, implementation science, epidemiology, biostatistics, and other population science disciplines. All trainees will be underrepresented in science and medicine.
