From Health Affairs
Dear John,
The November issue of Health Affairs will examine the health effects of
economic security policies. Join us for the theme issue briefing next
Tuesday, November 8
<[link removed]>, at
which selected authors and experts will present their work and engage in
discussions on these issues.
Clinical Research Exclusion
A lack of complete and consistent data on the relationship between
disability and health makes it difficult to obtain accurate estimates of
disability prevalence, assess needs, and measure disparities.
In the October 2022 issue of Health Affairs, Willyanne DeCormier Plosky
and coauthors study eligibility criteria for clinical trials
<[link removed]>
and discover exclusions for many categories of disability.
Their review of protocol eligibility criteria supports concerns that
people with disabilities are excluded from clinical research.
The highest frequencies of exclusion are in the categories of "other
chronic" (93 percent), psychiatric (68 percent), substance use (62
percent), HIV or hepatitis (53 percent), and cognitive/intellectual (42
percent) disabilities.
The authors suggest a number of ways to improve representation of people
with disabilities in clinical trials.
