YOUR LUPUS FAMILY IS HERE FOR YOU! 🫢🏾

Black Health Matters is excited to be partnering with Bristol Myers Squibb to bring you information on lupus and the importance of Black participation in clinical trials.

β€Š

Lupus is three times more common in Black women than white women, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. If the disease affects us, the research should reflect us. That's why it's so important that we participate in clinical studies.

A CLINICAL TRIAL COULD BE RIGHT FOR YOU

β€Š

Clinical trials are research studies that explore how a study medication might act in the body and affect a disease. The purpose of a clinical trial is to help researchers better understand the disease and try to find effective treatments for people in the future. Participating in clinical research can help provide valuable representation for Black Americans with lupus, to create a better and more equitable future.
