CU Anschutz launches new program aimed at involving older adults in clinical trials

Kathryn Nearing, [assistant professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine] helped create the program and says there is a need for more participation from older adults in clinical trials to help create more research and awareness. “Older adults are one population of the group that’s under-represented in research.” Nearing said. “What that means is the research we conduct may not be as beneficial or as useful for those populations.”
