Masterclass Summary:
Join our interactive 1-hour online masterclass on Inclusive Research Practices designed for primary care researchers and doctoral students. This session introduces practical strategies for making research recruitment and participation more accessible and inclusive for autistic individuals. Drawing on co-produced guidelines developed with autistic adults, the masterclass will explore common barriers in research materials and provide guidance on designing inclusive adverts, participant information sheets, consent processes, and communication practices. By the end of the session, attendees will have tools to improve the accessibility, clarity, and inclusivity of their own research recruitment and study processes.
