Welcome to JPM Collections, where diversity drives discovery. Our mission is to create a more inclusive and representative research landscape by empowering participation, education, and engagement. Through our partnership with Maximus, we provide access to research study opportunities that reflect real communities. Our Readable Resources program promotes literacy and increases reading rates in minority and underrepresented groups, building knowledge and confidence through the power of reading.
At JPM Collections, every product, partnership, and page connects to one purpose: representation that matters.
In U.S. clinical trials: Black participants account for only about 5% of participants while making up around 13% of the population.
The situation gets more extreme in some disease-specific trials: for four new breast-cancer treatments approved in 2020, only 2%–9% of participants were Black — even though Black women are twice as likely as White women to have triple-negative breast cancer.
Across more than 4.7 million trial enrollees in ~20,000 U.S. trials (2000-2020), the median percentage of White participants was about 79.7%, while for Hispanic/Latino it was only about 6%, and for Asian about 1%.

Older individuals who read at least once a week had about 46% lower odds of cognitive decline over a 14-year period compared with those who read less often.
People who are unable to read or write were found to have nearly 3 × the risk of dementia compared to those who are literate.
In a large cohort of over 10,000 older adults, those engaged in reading and other passive mental activities had a roughly 7% lower risk of developing dementia, while more active mental/literacy tasks were linked to a 9-11% reduced risk.
Reading books (versus just magazines/newspapers) was associated with about a 20% reduction in mortality risk over ~12 years in older adults; cognition appeared to mediate part of this benefit.
Statistical information in this section was drawn from studies and reports published by PubMed, ScienceDaily, and Sci.News.
