Enablers and barriers to engaging under-served groups in research: Survey of the United Kingdom research professional's views.

The UK findings from research professionals reflected the previous literature. Adolescents and young people were added to those identified as under-served. Enablers included community outreach and improvement to communication. Barriers were time, funding, organisational processes and lack of focus. Issues were identified with translation and interpretation services. Training requirements focus on methodologies and methods to engage and the consent processes of those from under-served groups.
