Objective: Despite knowledge that health outcomes vary according to patient characteristics, identity, and geography, including underrepresented populations in arthritis research remains a challenge. We conducted interviews to explore how researchers in arthritis have used equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles to inform their research.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals who 1) have experience conducting arthritis research studies; 2) reside in and/or conduct their research in Canada; and 3) speak English or French.
