The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention affirm that health equity is only achieved when everyone has opportunities to attain full health potential without disadvantages related to social position or socially determined circumstances. To reduce health inequities in nursing research, researchers must increase diversity in study samples and ensure that study participants are representative of all populations in the United States. Identifying effective methods for recruiting underrepresented populations must be a thoughtful and reflective component of every research methodology. To achieve health equity in research studies, nurse researchers and clinicians must carefully plan ways to recruit study participants who represent all populations.

美国疾病控制与预防中心确认，只有当每个人都有机会充分发挥健康潜力，且不存在与社会地位或社会决定环境相关的不利条件时，才能实现健康公平。为了减少护理研究中的健康不平等，研究人员必须增加研究样本的多样性，并确保研究参与者能够代表美国所有人群。确定招募代表性不足人群的有效方法必须是每项研究方法中深思熟虑和反思的组成部分。为了在研究中实现健康公平，护士研究人员和临床医生必须仔细计划如何招募代表所有人群的研究参与者。
