‘Hard to Reach’? Demystifying the Misconceptions

It provides essential case study examples on recruitment, engagement and partnerships with BME groups in research and public engagement.
In this crucial contribution to current debates, Natalie Darko exposes the misconception that health research and health services are equally effective for all and highlights their failures in engaging with Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups.
Drawing on case studies, this book presents essential examples of culturally tailored recruitment, engagement and partnerships with BME groups in research and public engagement. Drawing attention to the organisational, structural and cultural barriers that prevent access for BME groups, this important book exposes the practices within health research, clinical practice, commissioning and health services that perpetuate the stereotyping of BME groups as ‘hard to reach’.
Natalie Darko is Associate Professor at the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre at De Montfort University.
