Disparities in Gender and Race Representation Among Authors of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Trials
This study highlights persistent gender and racial disparities in IBD trial authorship and leadership despite some progress over the decades. Female and nonwhite individuals remain underrepresented, especially in industry-sponsored trials and in senior authorship roles. Systemic interventions are warranted to foster an inclusive and equitable research environment, including mentorship and support for underrepresented groups.
