Developing search strategies for evidence on quality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). A preliminary study

What was the problem? • We needed to identify evidence for a systematic mapping review for the Wellcome Trust • The research question was about how equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) issues are considered within health research from the perspective of research participants, topics and researchers • EDI are important but ill defined concepts which are increasingly valued in research • There is no EDI search filter to readily identify evidence but filters/strategies exist for LGBT, age, gender , hard to reach groups and minority ethnic groups
