Moving urologic disparities research from evidence synthesis to translational research: a dynamic, multidisciplinary approach to tackling inequalities in urology

Elsevier, Urology, Volume , 2021
Disparities in urology are well-documented but less is known about the role of translational research within existing interventional models to address inequalities.
