Shifting the Paradigm From Participant Mistrust to Researcher & Institutional Trustworthiness: A Qualitative Study of Researchers' Perspectives on Building Trustworthiness With Black Communities.

Introduction: Black communities are deeply underrepresented in research, due, in large part, to research mistrust. It is critical to shift the burden of trust building from communities to researchers and research institutions, which have perpetrated harm against Black communities for centuries. In this study, we examine researchers' perspectives on how to become trustworthy to Black-identifying participants and communities.
