Sociology

Racial and Ethnic Representation in Scientific Research Participation

Quick fact

Until the 1990s, many clinical trials deliberately excluded women and people of color, assuming results from white men would apply to everyone. This led to drugs being pulled from the market when they proved dangerous for others.

Why this is interesting

Most medical research has been conducted almost entirely on white men—so can we trust that the drugs and treatments work equally well for everyone?
