Good practice guideline | Researchers and community members felt that… |
---|---|
1. Consider the communities which the research needs to involve | Researchers need to ensure that their study has adequate representation of BAME groups, and that they are provided with the tools on how to achieve this. |
2. Undertake effective patient and public involvement (PPI) in research | Researchers need to recognise the importance of PPI and have suggestions for how to achieve this |
3. Conduct effective recruitment in BAME communities | Researchers need to know about effective engagement strategies – what works and doesn’t work for people. |
4. Ensure cultural competence in the conduct of the research | The research team should respond respectfully and effectively to people of all cultures, ethnic backgrounds, religions and other diversity factors. |
5. Provide effective feedback to research participants | Researchers should disseminate their findings back to the community, and not just within the academic context. |
