Improving representation of minority and underrepresented groups in human nutrition clinical trials is a high priority. A key consideration to increase the likelihood of translatable health outcomes in these groups is developing, testing, and successfully implementing inclusive, culturally appropriate recipes during clinical feeding trials. This session will bring together researchers and key opinion leaders from government, academia, and industry to discuss the current gaps in clinical nutrition research in minority and underrepresented groups. It will also review procedural considerations for designing culturally appropriate feeding interventions. The role of food selection, flavor, and spice in developing recipes that align with cultural foodways and traditional menus of the target research population will be explored, and an overview of the considerations when recruiting for and carrying out clinical trials using culturally appropriate recipes will be provided.
