We’ve heard firsthand from many women of color about a lack of access or knowledge of clinical trials. We’re working towards a world where women never have to say, “I didn’t know I had options.” The Fred Hutch Office of Community Engagement shares how you can find clinical trials on your own and what things you should consider on your search.
