This presentation will address issues and challenges that often arise when collecting data from 'invisible' populations, including determining the factors that rendered a population invisible, understanding the relationship between invisibility and vulnerability, and collaborating with members and/or allies of the population. The presentation will also include a discussion of research strategies that have been employed when collecting data, and the use of technology to improve the quality of data obtained.
