CONCLUSION
Diminishing participation of AAs in genomic-related health research is
attributed to a range of factors leading to growing concerns about
health disparities and it is important to address these factors, among
marginalized communities like AAs to promote better health outcomes.
Researchers should develop well-defined research protocols inclusive of
CBPR approaches that make clear the purpose of the study, including
risks and benefits, and provide research participants with appropriate
understanding of the type of research being undertaken and the value of
participating.
