AbstractOne approach to address cancer health disparities is to focus on the under-representation by minority populations in cancer trials. Recruitment strategies include: 1) characterizing the target populations, 2) involve members of the population in planning, 3) take the message to the population, 4) give something back to the community, 5) enhance credibility with a community spokesperson, 6) identify and remove barriers, 7) improve staff sensitivity, and 8) educate the population about the trial. To recruit minorities to clinical trials, we have developed the Accrual to Clinical Trials (ACT) framework for understanding and enhancing the recruitment of participants to cancer trials.
