Session Chair for the "Missing the Trees for the Forest: Defining Data from a Race and Ethnicity Perspective" session for DIA's 2022 Advancing DEI Across Life Sciences R&D Meeting (Formerly the DEI in the Drug Development Lifecycle Meeting).

Session Description: Missing the forest for the trees is a very popular term that encourages us to not be distracted by details, but to look at the bigger picture. Sometimes it's important to focus on an individual versus the problems of the group. In life sciences research and development, data could be interpreted as a forest and the individual story, patient, or participant, as the tree. The value in understanding how one’s individual story, or in this case, data, may influence the outcome of a treatment and how one reacts to such treatment, is important to evaluate in clinical trial design and recruitment. Many challenges exist in understanding data from defining it from a race and ethnicity perspective, its real-world application and use, and the importance of equitable data in relation to clinical trial development. This session will discuss and evaluate these perspectives and provide actionable solutions to how the field can move forward on these efforts. Show less
