Racial disparities in healthcare and clinical trials remain a pressing issue, with alarming statistics indicating that 80% of clinical trial participants are white, while minority groups are severely underrepresented, particularly American Indians and Alaska Natives, who have a 0% enrollment rate. Sheletta Brundidge highlights the importance of discussing mental health issues within the Black community, emphasizing the stigma that prevents individuals from seeking help and the need for accessible resources like the 988 Minnesota Lifeline. Dr. Frank North advocates for greater representation of minority pharmacists and underscores the importance of mentorship and networking in the pharmacy profession. Chronic diseases disproportionately affect the Black community, necessitating ongoing management and lifestyle adjustments, which are often overlooked. Additionally, colorism negatively impacts the mental and physical health of individuals with darker skin, with discrimination leading to increased anxiety and health risks. The healthcare system is urged to address colorism's implications on health as clinicians acknowledge its profound effects.
