This resonates deeply with our mission at IMA Clinical Research. We understand that the unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances of racial and ethnic minority populations impact health.

A confluence of factors is attributable for an emerging distrust in public health science. Populism, authoritarianism, identity politics, socio-political trends, misinformation through social media, and the historic harms of unconsensual/unethical research on people of color and the most vulnerable. Undoubtedly these issues help us make sense of what’s happening. Tomorrow, we will reflect on what got us here and more important, how do we move the needle - all for the sake of health - locally, nationally and globally?
