Public involvement in research. Making it make sense. Speaks volumes.
Sure Start, now called Family Hubs, was established to help young children and their families living in disadvantaged areas. It is widely understood that people from socially disadvantaged groups are underrepresented in research (Bonevski et al, 2014), and it remains a priority for reducing health disparities; yet, engaging these groups is challenging (Erves et al, 2016). Previously the term ‘hard to reach’ was used by researchers for groups they found difficult to access (Sydor, 2013), however, more recently terms such as ‘seldom heard’, ‘underrepresented’, ‘underserved’ and ‘easy to ignore’ are more commonly used. My aim is to better understand the research context and vocabulary for public involvement and how I can translate and apply this to my project in a way that makes sense to underserved groups and furthermore, make sense to the research community.

Abstract
Sure Start, now called Family Hubs, was established to help young children and their families living in disadvantaged areas. It is widely understood that people from socially disadvantaged groups are underrepresented in research (Bonevski et al, 2014), and it remains a priority for reducing health disparities; yet, engaging these groups is challenging (Erves et al, 2016). Previously the term ‘hard to reach’ was used by researchers for groups they found difficult to access (Sydor, 2013), however, more recently terms such as ‘seldom heard’, ‘underrepresented’, ‘underserved’ and ‘easy to ignore’ are more commonly used. My aim is to better understand the research context and vocabulary for public involvement and how I can translate and apply this to my project in a way that makes sense to underserved groups and furthermore, make sense to the research community.
