Undercoverage

U
 

Undercoverage is when specific groups of people are underrepresented in our data. Often minority or marginalized groups are absent from collected data or these groups are poorly represented so that their responses are diluted. This undercoverage leads to poor conclusions about specific populations or interventions, as groups underrepresented may provide insights not captured by the majority.
