POSB370 Strategies to Include Underrepresented Patient Populations in Patient-Centered Research

Abstract

Despite consensus across stakeholders on the need for greater inclusion of underrepresented populations in healthcare research, there continues to be inadequate participation from some patient subgroups (e.g., lower socioeconomic status, racial/ethnic minority). This qualitative study aimed to identify and summarize best practices in establishing criteria for a representative patient population and recruiting underrepresented patient subgroups.
