Section 12: Equity in Pragmatic Research

12.1 Introduction

This final module collects resources from throughout the COPRH Con three-year cycle relating to equity considerations in pragmatic research. However, this content is also retained in the preceding modules to reflect the need to think through equity issues during every step of your pragmatic research, from conceptualization and study design through conduct and dissemination.
