ABSTRACT
Clinical trials are an essential component of research for determining the safety and efficacy of treatments for medical diseases. In order for the results of clinical trials to be generalizable to diverse populations, they must include participants at ratios that are reflective of national and global populations. A significant number of dermatology studies not only lack racial/ethnic diversity but also fail to report data on minority recruitment and enrollment. Reasons for this are multifold and are discussed in this review. Although steps have been implemented to improve this issue, greater efforts are needed for sustained and meaningful change.
