Conceptualising, operationalising and utilising equity, diversity and inclusion in clinical trials: a scoping review Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are social constructs which when used in clinical trials help generate the highest quality evidence for interventions in the populations most likely to benefit. However, the incorporation of these constructs in clinical trials is unclear and inconsistent. This scoping review sought to understand how EDI is applied in clinical trials.

We remember.
35 years ago, 14 students were killed & many injured because they were women. Their lives were cut short by a man who blamed feminists for his failings.
As we remember the victims at École Polytechnique, reflect too on the ongoing effects of gender-based violence and femicide.
