Engagement in rapid public health research among young people from underserved communities: maximising opportunities and overcoming barriers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inclusion in public health research of young people from low-income households and those from minority ethnic groups remains low. It is recognised that there is a need to change the way in which research is conducted so that it becomes more inclusive. The aim of this work was to identify novel and innovative ways to maximise recruitment and inclusion of diverse participants when doing co-production within very short time frames for emergency responses.

Method

We conducted interviews with young people from low-income and minority ethnic backgrounds, and members or leaders of groups or organisations supporting or representing young people from underserved communities.

Results

A total of 42 participants took part in an interview. This included 30 young people
