"Can I Call You Back?": A Medical Student's Reflections on Research Recruitment in a Black Community
1Psychiatry Residency Program, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Abstract:
Historical mistreatment of Black persons in research settings has had lasting impacts on their recruitment into present-day studies. A medical student recruited Black individuals for a qualitative study aiming to improve the experiences of Black patients treated in a psychiatric emergency department of a large tertiary care setting. The lessons learned, including the nuanced power dynamics present when a Black student is recruiting Black patients, highlight opportunities for addressing racial inequities through empowerment of the Black community and for requiring investigators to create racially conscious recruitment plans.
