从历史上看，非洲裔美国人一直抵制参与临床试验和其他研究项目，因为他们不信任大多数白色研究机构。虽然有合法的理由拒绝参加临床试验，最明显的是塔斯基吉symptoms研究的滥用，非洲裔美国人可能会放弃机会，以获得所需的药物前几年，他们进入市场。本文分析了来自医学和心理健康期刊的29篇经验性文章，以了解他们在临床试验中招募和维持非裔美国人的发现。拒绝和接受参与机会的原因按主题排列，这些主题代表了这些报告的主要结论。社会工作的干预措施和研究设计的变化的建议，旨在使研究过程更欢迎非裔美国人。干预措施与主题相联系，并纳入社会工作道德和价值观。这项研究的前提是，非裔美国人应该提供现实的机会，有足够的资源支持，以增加参与。
Historically, African Americans have resisted participation in clinical trials and other research projects because of distrust of the mostly white research establishment. Although there are legitimate reasons for refusing to join clinical trials, most notably the abuses of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, African Americans may be passing up opportunities to obtain needed medications years before they reach the market. This article analyzes 29 empirical articles from medical and mental health journals for their findings on recruiting and maintaining African Americans in clinical trials. Reasons for declining and accepting opportunities to participate are organized into themes that represent the salient findings of these reports. Suggestions for social work interventions and changes in research designs are intended to make the research process more welcoming to African Americans. Interventions are linked to the themes and incorporate social work ethics and values. The premise of this study is that African Americans should be offered realistic opportunities supported by sufficient resources to increase participation.
