Join this webinar to gain insights into how customized and scalable solutions can advance community engagement in clinical trials. The main barriers preventing people from participating in clinical trials are a lack of awareness and convenient access. To effectively address this issue, it is crucial to reach out to patients where they are and provide them with information about trials and potential treatments. This is where the concept of community engagement comes into play.
By utilizing community engagement, we can reach underserved and diverse populations and establish long-lasting relationships that foster trust and awareness within individual communities. Communities are the key to unlocking the true potential of clinical research. Underserved and diverse communities require localized solutions. Embracing communities on their terms and cultivating local opportunities for the population are needed.
But what does community engagement really mean and what are its practical implications?
In this webinar, the featured speakers will delve into the realities of community engagement, exploring its challenges and benefits. They will also provide you with effective strategies and showcase how community engagement can successfully engage potential participants and communities, raising awareness about clinical research options.
Join this engaging discussion led by the featured speakers from EmVenio Research, as they share insights on how customized and scalable solutions can advance community engagement.
