Summary
This paper describes the development of STRIDE, a multi-component intervention designed to address known barriers to research participation among Black and Latinx individuals. Using community-engaged methods, the authors developed three integrated components: cultural competency training for research assistants, an electronic consent framework to improve comprehension, and video testimonies from prior diverse research participants. The intervention addresses barriers at participant, research team, and research process levels within the informed consent procedure.
UK applicability
The barriers to research participation among minoritised communities are broadly similar in the United Kingdom as in the United States, though UK contextual factors (e.g., NHS research governance, different ethnic demographic patterns) would require local adaptation. The community-engaged development methodology and consent process innovations are potentially transferable to UK research settings.
Key measures
Qualitative feedback from Community Investigators and community engagement studios on intervention components; ongoing effectiveness study metrics not yet reported in this development paper
Outcomes reported
The study describes development and testing of the STRIDE intervention, a three-component programme comprising simulation-based training for research staff, electronic consent frameworks, and video-based storytelling from prior diverse research participants. The study aimed to increase research participation among underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups.
