Abstract
Background: South Asian Canadians are not proportionally represented as participants in health research studies and can be attributed to participant-related and researcher-related factors.
Objectives: The South Asian Health Research Collaborative aimed to determine the top 10 health research priorities for the South Asian community by building engagement in health research.
Methods: South Asian Health Research Collaborative convened researchers, health-care providers, decision makers, and members of the South Asian community to build engagement in health research and identify the health research priorities of the South Asian community.
Results: The top three research questions related to reducing barriers to mental health services, improving access to diabetes-related dietary information, and exploring the use of complementary and alternative medicine alongside Western medicine.
Conclusions: The identified priorities serve as a foundation for a collaborative research agenda between researchers and the South Asian community, emphasizing the importance of meaningful partnerships to address barriers to participation in health research studies.
