Abstract
Quantitative and survey research depends heavily on large sample sizes, but a focus on the average student in quantitative analyses often hides diverse voices. Participants in this session will discuss common issues and solutions associated with giving voice to small populations of college students (e.g., gender variant, multiracial, LGBQ+). Participants will discuss administration issues related to small populations such as increasing response rates, identifying special subpopulations, and writing more inclusive survey questions. Tips for disaggregating, responsibly aggregating, and choosing inclusive comparative information will be provided. Additionally, participants will discuss strategies for analyzing and communicating about the results from small populations as well as approaches for communicating about the validity and data quality from small sample sizes.
