Bringing Invisible Populations to Light: Methods for an Inclusive Population Health

This program explored the challenges associated with obtaining data about marginalized and hard-to-reach populations. Which populations are ?hidden? from existing public health statistics? What methods and techniques can help us fill these gaps so we can better identify and address the health needs of these populations moving forward?

At the end of the recording, participants will be able to:
– List two challenges in identifying invisible populations
– Discuss how social networks and respondent driven sampling can reach populations that may otherwise be invisible
– Explain internal displacement and some of the health challenges faced by internally displaced persons
