Equity by Design in Clinical Research: The EbD Metrics Framework

Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in Clinical Research

Framework:

Developed on: June 2022

Developed by: IRB taskforce on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The EbD Metrics Framework is designed to provide a straightforward and engaging overview of DEI in clinical research, to prompt reflection for harmonized organizational DEI efforts, and to orient users toward potential entry and follow-up strategies. The framework is organized around seven key themes (see image). Quantitative and qualitative measures are proposed for each theme, which can be disaggregated into detailed measures and tailored by users. The level of detail explored will depend on the user’s purpose.

Defining Diversity

Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in Clinical Research.

Framework:

Developed on: August 2020

Developed by: MRCT Center Diversity Workgroup

We define the term “diversity” to be broad and inclusive. At minimum, it includes:
  • Demographic factors such as sex, race, ethnicity, age, location, genetics etc.
  • Non-demographic factors such as comorbidities, organ dysfunction, concurrent medications, environmental factors, compliance. Among non-demographic factors are those that are historically, socially, and culturally determined.
  • Social factors, and those within the term “social determinants of health,” including education level, economic status, family size, food insecurity, etc.
