When diverse
women join clinical trials, researchers can better understand the many factors
that affect how women respond to treatment and prevention strategies. By
spreading the word, you show your commitment to encourage the participation of
diverse women in clinical trials.
The FDA Office of Women’s
Health invites you to demonstrate your support for diversity in research by
taking the Make a Difference: Diverse
Women in Clinical Trials pledge.

the Women in Clinical Trials Thunderclap page

the rally to spread the word about Women in Clinical Trials
What happens next?
When the campaign
reaches its supporter goal, on Wednesday, January 27, 2016, at 1:00 PM ET, the
pledge message will be released from participants’ designated accounts.
“Make a difference in women’s health. Spread the
word about the importance of diverse women in #clinicaltrials: http://1.usa.gov/1JeN2mv”
The
result will be a “thunderclap” of simultaneous Twitter and Facebook posts about
diverse women in clinical trials that will reverberate across social media.
This
is a great way for people across the country to show support for diverse women
in clinical trials.
Please note that Thunderclap
will only post to your account one
time during the campaign.
