To remove health disparities and better understand aging procedures in ethnically diverse populations, reliable techniques for increasing involvement of minority populations in health research are required. To develop an efficient strategy that will inspire older adults to volunteer for research study, specifically those from disparity populations, requires comprehending factors of successful recruitment and designing innovative strategies to resolve known barriers to recruitment. We provide two kinds of resources on this topic.
