Conducting Research and Survey Studies in Hard-to-Reach Populations

Oct 2024

The patient is at the center of survey, health preference, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) research. By their nature, hard-to-reach populations are difficult to engage in health research, as they may not be recruitable through commonly used channels or may need additional assistance with survey tasks or different modes of administration for PROs and preference tasks. With survey, preference and PRO research increasingly being conducted online due to time and budgetary efficiencies, the likelihood of successfully involving hard-to-reach populations becomes ever smaller. But when the research question concerns the hard-to-reach populations, how can we ensure that the results reflect their views?
