Abstract
Underrepresentation of youth from diverse backgrounds is a widespread issue in developmental neuroscience. Specifically, research methods that employ neuroimaging techniques have increased barriers to participation that can limit representation. In this study, we conducted focus groups with adolescents in Vermont to understand specific concerns and barriers surrounding research participation. This analysis was part of a larger qualitative study, Conversations Around Resilience and Early-life Stress (CARES), in which we evaluated youth perspectives on the stress they face, their resilience, and their mental health. Our analysis identified key barriers to research participation, including transportation, time, caregiver involvement, and safety.
