Building Trust in Clinical Research Through Literacy-First Community Engagement

Clinical research can be made more trustworthy and accessible by engaging communities through unconditional, literacy-driven outreach. This session shares a model for engaging people where they are, not as future participants or workforce members, but as community members deserving of clarity, inclusion, and respect. Presenters will share examples of how they deliver plain-language education about clinical research, facilitate conversations around research mistrust, and equip communities with the tools to navigate research information and options. These efforts aren’t tied to active studies or enrollment; rather, they’re grounded in the belief that long-term public trust is built through repeated, agenda-free education. Attendees will walk away with replicable strategies for building community-facing literacy initiatives centered on equity, transparency, and relationship-building.
