Minorities have historically been underrepresented in health-related research. Several strategies have been recommended to increase the participation of minorities in health-related research. However, most of the recommendations and guidelines apply to research in clinical or laboratory contexts. One of the more prominent methods to enhance minority participation in health-related research that has recently come to the fore is the use of community-engaged strategies. The purpose of this article is to summarize community-engaged outreach efforts that can be translated into useable strategies for health education research teams seeking to diversify the pool of research participants. Also, we provide a succinct overview of the various components of a research endeavor that may influence minority participation in health-related research. Finally, we analyze how health education specialists and SOPHE (Society of Public Health Education) can play a leading role in helping enhance minority participation in health-related research.
历史上，少数族裔在与健康相关的研究中的代表性一直不足。已经推荐了几种策略来增加少数族裔参与与健康相关的研究。然而，大多数建议和指南适用于临床或实验室环境中的研究。最近，为增强少数族裔参与与健康相关研究而出现的一种较为突出的方法是使用社区参与策略。本文的目的是总结社区参与的外展工作，这些工作可以转化为可供健康教育研究团队使用的策略，以实现研究参与者群体的多样化。此外，我们简要概述了研究工作中可能影响少数族裔参与与健康相关研究的各个组成部分。最后，我们分析健康教育专家和公共健康教育协会（SOPHE）如何在帮助增强少数族裔参与与健康相关研究方面发挥主导作用。
