Engaging vulnerable populations in research requires careful consideration of ethical and practical challenges. Researchers must prioritize participants' safety, privacy, and well-being while ensuring the research is meaningful and impactful for the community. This presentation will highlight real-world experiences, challenges, and practical solutions for involving vulnerable populations in research during trying times such as those we face now. It's important to emphasize that additional protections should not deter researchers from involving these groups. Instead, such safeguards enable ethical inclusion, ensuring that individuals who may benefit most from research are not systematically excluded due to perceived risks or complexities.
