When Will Clinical Trials Finally Reflect Diversity?

Nature

Since the late 1990s, the number of countries contributing to the clinical-trial data used by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve drugs has almost doubled.

And funders and researchers have repeatedly said that clinical trials should include more participants from ethnic minorities.
