Inclusion in research refers to the practice of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background or characteristics, have the opportunity to participate in research studies. This includes actively seeking to include individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender backgrounds, as well as individuals with disabilities or other marginalized identities. Inclusion in research is important for creating more generalizable and equitable findings, as well as for addressing health disparities and promoting social justice. Researchers may use various strategies to enhance inclusion, such as actively recruiting diverse participants, adapting study procedures to accommodate different needs, and involving community members in the research process.
