Understanding Barriers and Facilitators for Ethnic Minority Groups to Audio Recording Recruitment Discussions in Clinical Trials: A Participatory Approach to Improving Informed Consent and Participation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Fully informed consent is essential for ethical trial conduct, yet gaps in participant comprehension and recall can occur, particularly among underserved groups, for example, ethnic minorities. This Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) project explored the engagement of ethnic minority communities in trial recruitment discussions, particularly their views about audio recording discussions with healthcare professionals.

Methods

This PPIE project engaged ethnic minority communities in Bristol, collaborating with community partners to facilitate access to then foster dialogue among Somali, South Asian and Chinese groups. Separate workshops for men and women from these ethnic groups were held to introduce community members to clinical trial processes
