Equitable access refers to the principle of ensuring that all individuals have equal opportunities to access resources, services, education, and opportunities, regardless of their background, identity, or socioeconomic status. In research, equitable access aims to address disparities and inequalities by identifying and implementing strategies to remove barriers and create fair and inclusive access for all individuals. This can include ensuring that marginalized or underrepresented populations have equal access to healthcare services, educational opportunities, employment opportunities, and other resources. Research in equitable access often focuses on identifying systemic barriers and developing interventions to promote equal access and opportunities for all individuals.
