Abstract:
The inclusion of minority populations, particularly African Americans (AAs), in health care research has been and continues to be challenging. Including AAs in health care research will address the health disparities observed between Caucasian and AA populations and may reduce the disparities in disease incidence and prevalence between these groups. To include more AAs in health care research, the research team must strive to build relationships, linkages, and mutual respect with the target AA community they wish to study.
