About this action

Research often excludes marginalised populations, perpetuating evidence gaps about what works to reduce health inequalities. Active participation in equity-focused research helps build evidence that reflects all communities' needs. Approaches to implementation: - Join the Deep End Research Alliance to build relationships with other practices and research teams interested in health inequalities - Support recruitment from underserved communities and establish systems for identifying and recruiting patients from underserved groups - Identify and engage with research projects focusing on health inequalities - Advocate for inclusive research design and recruitment - Ensure research participation information is available in multiple formats and languages - Create feedback mechanisms to share research findings with participating communities Key benefits: Contributes to building robust evidence about reducing health inequalities while providing marginalised patients the opportunity to contribute to research opportunities.
