The increasing diversity of population of the United States
presents many challenges to conducting health research that is
representative and informative. Dispersion and accessibility issues
can increase logistical costs; populations for which it is
difficult to obtain adequate sample size are also likely to be
expensive to study. Hence, even if it is technically feasible to
study a small population, it may not be easy to obtain the funding
to do so. In order to address the issues associated with improving
health research of small populations, the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop in January
2018. Participants considered ways of addressing the challenges of
conducting epidemiological studies or intervention research with
small population groups, including alternative study designs,
innovative methodologies for data collection, and innovative
statistical techniques for analysis. Table of Contents Front Matter
