The community was engaged in all phases of the research process, including the development of this paper, a process ensuring the community voice heard. Because this study was exploratory and descriptive in nature, the researchers gained insight on local health and research experiences (e.g., barriers, concerns), as well as underrepresented populations’ expectations in order to participate in research. An in-depth understanding was gained through the participant-driven CLSs, the free-form approach which provided content-rich themes, and the use of the constant comparison method .
