Several strategies can help to mitigate underrepresentation:
1. Inclusive Study Designs: Researchers should design studies that specifically aim to include underrepresented groups. 2. Community Engagement: Building trust through community partnerships can improve participation rates. 3. Policy Changes: Regulatory bodies can mandate the inclusion of diverse populations in research. 4. Funding Incentives: Grant agencies can prioritize funding for studies that address underrepresentation.
