Detecting racial and ethnic disparities in study exclusion: screening outcomes from a RCT for pregnant women with insomnia

Eligibility criteria excluded prospective study participants at different rates dependent on their race/ethnicity. Differences in trial exclusion can contribute to the under-enrollment of minoritized pregnant people in RCTs for behavioral health. Quantifying and reporting eligibility disparities enables investigators to more precisely evaluate the trade-offs of specific inclusion criteria against the generalizability of findings to diverse populations.

Abstract

Eligibility criteria excluded prospective study participants at different rates dependent on their race/ethnicity. Differences in trial exclusion can contribute to the under-enrollment of minoritized pregnant people in RCTs for behavioral health. Quantifying and reporting eligibility disparities enables investigators to more precisely evaluate the trade-offs of specific inclusion criteria against the generalizability of findings to diverse populations.
