Limitations in representative sampling of unpaid caregivers from minority ethnocultural backgrounds in a population-based survey.
Husayn MaraniPublished in: BMC research notes (2021)
Beyond limitations intrinsic to study design, including time and budget constraints, the study sample underrepresents unpaid caregivers from minority ethnocultural backgrounds due to differences in conceptions of caregiving across minority cultures, the time-consuming nature of caregiving that disproportionately affects minority groups, and a propensity to avoid research which is rooted in tokenism. These hypotheses are non-exhaustive, speculative and warrant further empirical investigation.
