TL;DR
Issues of distrust need to be acknowledged by researchers to develop better recruitment and retention strategies when conducting AIDS clinical trials in African-American communities.
Abstract
Distrust about research institutions is a significant barrier to recruiting African Americans in AIDS clinical trials. Issues of distrust need to be acknowledged by researchers to develop better recruitment and retention strategies when conducting AIDS clinical trials in African-American communities.
