Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation focused on the importance of addressing bias and stigma in clinical research within real-world contexts, acknowledging that these issues persist in both healthcare and research environments. The speaker, involved in family and community medicine, emphasized the need for careful, thoughtful approaches to mitigate these biases, recognizing their inevitability but highlighting their impact on data collection and research validity.<br /><br />Specific biases include lack of diversity in participant screening and inclusion, which affects research outcomes.

They emphasized the importance of inclusive recruitment strategies and community engagement to build trust and enhance diversity in studies.<br /><br />Finally, practical advice included increasing oversampling techniques, crafting inclusive recruitment materials, and employing critical data evaluation to ensure marginalized communities are represented in research outcomes, ultimately aiming to reduce bias and improve research generalizability.
