Moderator Basil Williams, MD, is joined by panelists Karen Jeng-Miller, MD, MPH; M. Ali Khan, MD, and Katherine Talcott, MD, to summarize a pair of papers exploring this topic. After summarizing the papers' findings, the group reviews a phase 4 trial seeking to enroll underrepresented patients and asks which barriers to enrollment may be linked to shortcomings in demographic diversity.
