2023 Research Publication

TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance along with Morehouse School of Medicine, Breastcancer.org, the Center of Healthcare Innovation, Citizen, and LRW published “Increasing Clinical Trial Participation of black Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer” research in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities in 2023. The published study took a community-based participatory research approach to understand the barriers which contribute to this disparity, in the community’s own words and with research design and data collection from trusted members of the community.
