title: [Access und Barriers to Recruiting Persons with Migration Background in the Field of Prehospital Emergency Care Research].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  There is a lack of knowledge concerning the specific needs of migrants in the field of prehospital emergency care. One reason, amongst others, is the low participation in research of this specific group. The present study aims to elaborate the pros and cons for participation in prehospital emergency care research to ensure an adequate representation of people with migrant background.
  
  
  METHODS
  Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 43 people with migration background who had experienced an emergency. The analysis was performed based on the statements concerning the following questions: (1) What motivated you to take part in this study? and (2) What could have prevented others from participation in this study?
  
  
  RESULTS
  Content analysis revealed 5 categories for (1): relevance of the study, expression of appreciation, type as well as place of contact and the interviewer himself and 3 categories for (2): data protection, language barriers and personal experiences.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Participation in prehospital emergency care research can be promoted by underlining the benefits of the study, in particular for other migrant emergency patients.
