- Topic: Applying Structural Competency to Engage, Recruit and Retain Underrepresented Populations in Biomedical Research
- Level: Basic/All
- Description: This CReWE session will discuss structural competency — a practice of understanding unmet social needs of individuals — in engagement of populations underrepresented as research participants. Using case studies and reviewing literature on barriers and solutions to recruitment and retention of special populations, we will apply principles of structural competency and universal design to observational and interventional research.
