A Comment article in Nature Medicine argues that clinical research should recruit participants from LGBTQIA+ populations, which requires specific actions and policies to create affirming and welcoming environments. https://go.nature.com/3WILuQi 🧪

Historically underrepresented in clinical studies, LGBTQIA+ people face systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities and hinder the advancement of medical knowledge tailored to their needs.
