Oldest old people living alone, in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, and with ill health or dementia, face additional barriers that may hinder their participation in research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper contributes timely critical commentary on methodological and ethical approaches to engaging under\u2010represented people in research. We draw on our experiences and reflections from a study of social exclusion of people aged 80\u2009years and older living alone in government housing in Melbourne, Australia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results and Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We suggest key factors to facilitate representation of this population group in future research. These factors include using doorknocking to gain access, cultivating trust with participants and gatekeepers, and conducting face\u2010to\u2010face home interviews. We also interrogate ethical and safety issues for researchers and oldest old participants including the potential for informed consent protocols to exclude this population group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>To avoid unintentionally excluding the oldest old, researchers need to consider older persons' self\u2010determination and advocate for methods that ensure oldest old perspectives inform future healthy ageing planning and reduce possible health and well\u2010being inequities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajag.13364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]],"date-time":"2024-10-22T04:38:08Z","timestamp":1729571888000},"page":"844-851","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Engaging under\u2010represented oldest old in research: An\u00a0approach for inclusive recruitment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5706-5356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naomi","family":"Paine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Catholic University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"La Trobe University  Wodonga Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9703-1895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melanie","family":"Lowe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RMIT University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0814-7616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charlotte","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3576-8744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gavin","family":"Turrell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RMIT University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"University of Canberra  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18848\/2576-5310\/CGP\/v10i02\/53-73"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","volume-title":"World Population Prospects 2019: highlights","author":"United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5195\/jmla.2020.762"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10497323211026911"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732310379115"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-017-4241-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.321.7267.992"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781526435446.n26"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2288-14-42"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-6612.2009.00362.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","volume-title":"Handbook of Interview Research: context and Method","author":"Wenger G","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.13246"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-020-01149-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-6612.2008.00341.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaging.2022.101011"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0144686X20000288"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnw268"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","first-page":"2005","volume-title":"Lessons from Deprived Neighbourhoods.
