预防和管理心血管疾病等慢性病已被宣布为21世纪的挑战 美国疾病控制和预防中心将在21世纪迎来这一时刻，满足这一时刻需要全美国人民都参与到生物医学研究中来。在由国家卫生研究院资助的研究中，非洲裔美国男性和其他边缘化群体的比例仍然偏低，迫切需要减少参与研究的种族差距。这项研究的目的是检验与医学研究中的信任和对生物医学研究参与的认知相关的因素。这一多样性补充的目的是：1)修改和管理一项针对德克萨斯州杰克逊市18-35岁居民的在线调查，以检查与参与者对医学研究的信任和对生物医学研究参与的看法相关的因素；2)通过向普通和科学受众展示研究结果，发展补充候选者的专业和科学沟通技能。这些目标的实现将提高候选人的专业技能，同时提供互动研究经验，以鼓励在生物医学研究领域的职业追求。

Preventing and managing chronic diseases like CVD has been declared the challenge of the 21st century by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and meeting this moment requires the full breadth of the United States population to be engaged and involved in biomedical research. African American males and other marginalized groups continue to be underrepresented in studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and there is a critical need to reduce racial disparities in research participation. The purpose of this study is to examine factors associated with trust in medical research and perceptions about biomedical research participation. The aims of this diversity supplement are to: 1) modify and administer an online survey to 18-35 year old residents of Jackson, MS and Houston, TX to examine factors associated with participant trust in medical research and perceptions about biomedical research participation and 2) develop professional and scientific communication skills of the supplement candidate through presenting study findings to general and scientific audiences. The achievement of these aims will enhance professional skills of the candidate while providing interactive research experiences to encourage pursuit of a career in biomedical research.
