Increasing diversity in research participation: recruitment and retention strategies
15th May 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Professor Petra Wark and Funmi Ladeinde of the Centre for Healthcare and Communities, Research Institute for Health & Wellbeing at the University of Coventry.
Many human research studies lack diversity, which limits our understanding of the factors that contribute to disease in groups who don’t usually participate. As a result, it becomes difficult to apply research findings to develop effective disease prevention strategies and public health policies that benefit everyone.
We need to include everyone in our research efforts to help in formulating more effective disease prevention strategies, creating fair health policies, and better identifying the care, service, and health needs of different groups.
Petra and Funmi will talk about ways to involve groups that are generally not represented in research that require people to engage with researchers over time.
