Older Black Americans are twice as likely as older White Americans to have Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. It is critical that clinical research studies are inclusive to best assure the safety and effectiveness of investigative medicines.
For the first time, global pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company will be bringing a mobile research unit to Birmingham. Attendees of the 4th Avenue Jazz Festival aged 65 years and older will have the opportunity to undergo a free blood screening on Aug. 27th at event, located at the historic 4th Avenue Business District, to see if they’re at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and to potentially be enrolled in an ongoing clinical trial.
These mobile research units were created to make clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease accessible to everyone, but most especially underserved communities and people of color.
