According to recent research, blacks are much more likely to distrust medical research than whites. It is believed that this is the primary reason why black children are often misrepresented in research findings, according to Science Daily.
Excerpt from sciencedaily.com:
As compared with white parents, African American parents:
* More often reported distrust of medical research, when questions assessing trust were combined and analyzed (67 percent vs. 50 percent)
* More often believed that physicians prescribe medications as a way of experimenting on unknowing patients (40 percent vs. 28 percent)
* Were more likely to believe that medical research involves too much risk to the participant (46.8 percent vs. 26 percent), that physicians will not make full disclosures regarding their child’s participation (24.6 percent vs. 10 percent) and that research participants would be favored and receive better medical care (48.6 percent vs. 28 percent)
I personally think that this study overlooks the fact that most black households have a home remedy for just about everything under the sun….castor oil anyone?

I’m late in positing on this article, but much of the distrust has been earned by the medical professionals from earlier times. For instance, the study of sypillis in the early 20th Century left much to be desired. Who can trust people would use people in such a fashion?
Hopefully, those days are forever over, but we don’t know that for sure.
