Addressing Challenges in Recruiting Diverse Populations for Research: Practical Experience From a P20 Center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improving the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in all research areas is essential for health equity. However, achieving and retaining diverse samples is challenging. Barriers to recruitment and retention of diverse participants include socioeconomic and cultural factors and practical challenges (e.g., time and travel commitments).
