Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected racial and ethnic populations within the United States, creating a distinct set of circumstances that exacerbated barriers to research participation for underrepresented communities. This article aims to provide a rationale that validates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these groups and suggests strategies for participant recruitment while sharing lessons learned from our own laboratory. By understanding the barriers that limit the recruitment of intended populations, researchers can implement culturally sensitive strategies and work towards a more inclusive body of literature with improved participation from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations.
