Session Description: Data collection and reporting processes traditionally have been designed to collect the same information from all study participants and present that data in aggregate format suggesting the needs and potential solutions are the same for all people. However, nuanced experiences from individuals who represent race/ethnicity/ancestry, age, language, disability, veteran, sexual orientation, and gender expression (REALDV-SOGI) communities are often not fully captured in traditional data collection and dissemination practices. In this seminar, common challenges related to equitable data collection will be discussed, and participants will learn to develop research protocols and best practices for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data that is representative of all individuals and communities. Participants will also have an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences related to equitable data collection practices and discuss strategies that elevate community voices in better research practices.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate barriers to collecting data from research, individual, and community perspectives.
  • Analyze common inequities faced by individuals based on REALDV-SOGI categories during data collection and data dissemination.
  • Apply best practices for community driven data collection, analysis, and reporting.
