Description:
Having people with different physical, social, and personal traits or characteristics in a group or organization. These characteristics may include race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual identity, religion, physical and mental ability, language, income, and education. Diversity may also include different life experiences, cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and interests in a group. In cancer research, there are efforts being made to increase the diversity of people enrolled in clinical trials so that the trial results represent a wider group of people who would most likely benefit from the treatment or intervention being studied.
