Women in general and women of color in particular have been noticeably absent from clinical research, be it phase I pharmacokinetic drug trials or natural history observational studies. This paper examines several questions about the role of women of color in clinical research: Who participates in clinical trials and why? Do women of color face a particular dilemma in deciding to participate? A biologic construct for race and gender research issues is presented. Given the variations of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that may be race- or gender-related, certain obstacles must be addressed in order to facilitate responsible research. Those obstacles include the history of abuse of vulnerable populations in the name of clinical research, discrimination in medical care, and the lack of understanding of the combined impact of gender, race, ethnicity, and class on behavior and health.

1. Cataract patients received widely differing amounts of information about their surgery and their pre- and postoperative courses. Although most received some information, no patient received what could be considered complete information. 2. Most patients would have liked more specific information about what they could expect and what they could do to take care of themselves after surgery. Some patients were surprised that they could not see perfectly after surgery. Such feelings led to uncertainty and concern about the success of the procedure. 3. The cataract patients had a relatively uneventful postoperative course, complaining little about nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and difficulty moving and sleeping. Although pain generally was rated as low, 15% of patients complained of severe pain on the 1st postoperative day.
The attitudes of sighted persons are recognized as a major influence on the successful adjustment of blind people to their disability. Although actual measurement is a quite recent development, attitudes toward blindness and blind people have a long history. The purpose of this article is to review the descriptive and research literature that addresses attitudes of sighted and non sighted persons toward blindness and blind people.
