Generic Research Activity Infographic
We know that diverse ethnic groups are under-represented in health research, which can mean healthcare treatments and services are less safe, accessible, and effective for these groups. To address this, Diabetes UK worked with eight health charities, two community organisations, and eight people with lived experience to co-produce an awareness raising film. This project is led by Egality, a community engagement agency that exists to improve health equity.
The collective aim is to increase the number of people with lived experience from diverse ethnic groups who are actively involved in health research, and ultimately improve health treatments and services. The spoken word film by the brilliant Duke Al Durham, who lives with type 1 diabetes, focuses on why diversity in Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and in health research matters for people, families, and communities.
Here is a YouTube link to the full-length film and an external webpage where this video sits. The film can be used by anyone who wants to encourage people from diverse backgrounds to get involved in research.
