Opportunities and counterintuitive challenges for decentralized clinical trials to broaden participant inclusion

Noah Goodson et al.

Summary: Traditional clinical trials often fail to recruit representative participant populations. Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) have been proposed as a potential solution to reduce barriers and attract a wider range of participants, but their impact on participant inclusivity remains to be seen. Digital studies aiming to address a single element of inclusion may inadvertently lead to unintended consequences in other areas. Implementing DCTs presents new challenges such as the digital divide and the need to build new infrastructure.
