In 2022, AARP Research and NORC published an academic journal article in _Survey Practice _that examined challenges to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) survey


participation and strategies for overcoming these barriers. Through conducting a review of the literature and interviews with 15 experts, findings from the project show that barriers and


challenges to survey participation for the AANHPI community include: * Lack of familiarity with surveys and their importance. * Lack of trust. * Issues of language and translation. In


addition, the findings show that strategies to increase AANHPI survey participation include: * Intentional outreach and inclusive recruitment methods. * Working together with leaders,


experts, and organizations at the local community or national level, depending on the study focus. * Tailoring messaging about a study. * Providing more culturally responsive translations.
