“…The intersections of human factors, health equity, and social determinants of health are likewise increasingly important topics (Holden, Toscos, & Daley, 2019;Wesley, Boxley, Kurgatt, King, & Miller, 2019). A recent edited volume on patient ergnomics (Valdez & Holden, 2021) devoted an entire section and multiple chapters to special concerns for healthcare and design for veterans, children, older adults, and underserved populations.…”

“…Such research empowered designers to recognize exclusion and marginalization, and to understand their harmful effects on human performance and well-being. Such work enables experts to develop possible solutions (e.g., technologies for older adults, Harris, Nie, & Rogers, 2019) and evaluate these tools for efficacy. In sum, HF/E experts can address equity and inclusion as the direct focus and desired outcomes of their work.…”

“…Awareness of these issues allows people to develop more nuanced models, interpretations, and explanations of research findings. For example, understanding the needs and challenges of older adults (e.g., active aging, mattering, and neglect; Harris et al, 2019) can help to explain technology design and adoption beyond basic usability principles. Power dynamics and oppression also affect how and whether people participate in research, interact with researchers, and interpret and perform research tasks.…”

Experts in human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) and related fields have the ability and responsibility to broadly serve the needs and goals of diverse people, which encompasses issues of inclusion, equity, and justice. Importantly, HF/E designers, researchers, and practitioners can address these aims both as the intended outcomes of their work and how the work itself is conducted. Both pathways support progress toward more inclusive and equitable organizations and societies. This paper focuses upon one aspect of inclusive methodology—strategies for inclusive sampling. Sampling is an important focus because of its fundamental role in defining the internal and external validity of findings. Moreover, sampling is how diverse participants and perspectives are incorporated (or not), and thus represents an early way that exclusion, inequity, or inaccessibility may manifest. Three heuristic questions and six sets of strategies are briefly articulated: (1) purposive sampling, (2) oversampling, (3) community sampling, (4) removing barriers of distance, cost, communication, and awareness, (5) building trust, and (6) inclusive demographic categories. A variety of sources are cited to facilitate readers’ further consideration of these issues in their own HF/E endeavors.
