 JULY 22, 2022

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity and the HHS Office of Minority Health has launched a new public education campaign that aims to increase racial and ethnic minority participation in lupus clinical trials.

The Let’s Take Charge campaign intends to increase diversity in clinical trial participation which helps to ensure that future medical products are safe and effective for the people they are created for.

=====================

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health (HHS OMH) has joined forces with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (FDA OMHHE) to launch the Let’s Take Charge! The Campaign, is an initiative to make lupus research more inclusive and diverse.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that has a disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minority populations. We need diverse participation in lupus research to help ensure that products and treatments for patients living with lupus are safe and effective.
