Moving beyond 'one size fits all': research considerations for working with vulnerable populations

Several research considerations for human-computer interaction researchers to look at in working with vulnerable populations are discussed. Privacy and vulnerability are interwoven concepts and protecting a vulnerable person's privacy is one way to help ensure their safety. Vulnerable populations have unique concerns with participating in research that are crucial to the success of the project. Building relationship with the communities intended to work with can help safeguard against unintentional harm.
