Equity in Health: Consideration of Race and Ethnicity in Precision Medicine 2020-07-22 .txt text/plain 1904 94 36 The causes for disparities in implementation of precision medicine are complex, due in part to differences in clinical care and a lack of engagement and recruitment of under-represented populations in studies. The causes for disparities in implementation of precision medicine are complex, due in part to differences in clinical care and a lack of engagement and recruitment of under-represented populations in studies. The development of precision medicine approaches to improve accuracy of diagnoses, understand biological and environmental elements of disease risk, and improve safety and efficacy of treatments has been relatively slow within minority and disadvantaged populations. The reasons minorities and economically disadvantaged populations have had limited access to personalized medicine are complex and directly tied to the causes of health disparities. These causes are described earlier, and also include distrust of researchers combined with a lack of consistent long-term community engagement and other strategies to increase diversity in recruitment from under-represented populations for clinical studies. ./cache/cord-337703-637xgk6g.txt ./txt/cord-337703-637xgk6g.txt
