CTSI funded CRISP pilot - Increasing representation in aphasia research
People with aphasia from racial and ethnic minority groups are substantially underrepresented in stroke and aphasia research due to the intersectionality of language and communication difficulties and systemic barriers to research participation.
The goals of this pilot project are to increase the representation and engagement of Black stroke survivors with aphasia in treatment research and aphasia community support group through targeted community ambassador-driven outreach while also identifying potential barriers to research participation and unmet community needs and service gaps among Black stroke survivors with aphasia.
