Racial minorities are consistently underrepresented in surveys and research across all fields, due to poor recruitment strategies, a lack of cultural competence amongst researchers, and lack of meaningful engagement with relevant community members and stakeholders, among other factors. It is important to involve culturally competent researchers, allow participants to provide feedback to researchers, effectively recruit participants in a way where they are able to understand the benefits of the research, and ensure that the research is relevant to the targeted population.
