CTSI Update: Announcement
Congratulations to Linda Sprague Martinez and her team for their efforts in developing novel solutions focused on clinical and translational research.
The CTSI Integrated Pilot Grant Program has awarded funds to study CTSI sites including Boston Medical Center, where 31% of patients report a first language other than English.
Improve Language Diversity in Clinical Trials
Even though many patients with limited English Proficiency (LEP) can be helped through clinical trials, they are often excluded due to a lack of diverse research teams that are able to effectively engage with them. This gap in trial representation translates to a gap in treatment. Dr. Martinez of the Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) will help close this gap by testing and assessing promising engagement strategies.
