Summary
"This book is designed to assist researchers in studying ethnic minority and economically disadvantaged populations by helping them identify and resolve the unique methodological challenges that researchers commonly face when studying these populations. Authors combine a comprehensive knowledge of the literature with firsthand experience as they advocate for an informed perspective and provide "best practice" guidance to help students and researchers conduct and critically evaluate research with these populations."--Jacket.
