Facilitated by Francois Rollin, MD and Vanessa Van Doren, MD, and featuring Otis Brawley, MD, Alanna Morris, MD, and Michael Kramer, PhD, the Appropriate Use of Race in Research Town Hall encouraged participants to explore how is race utilized, reported, and interpreted in biomedical research. This important discussion considered whether the use of race as a variable in clinical research is practical or problematic and how investigators can responsibly participate in health equity scholarship that leads to meaningful change.
