abstract: 'Research participation among vulnerable populations is often limited by
the same socioeconomic factors that contribute to poor health.
Identifying best practices for inclusion is critical to addressing
health disparities. Urban public housing communities bear a
disproportionate burden of chronic disease and may represent an
opportunity to directly engage historically vulnerable populations in
research designed to ultimately reduce that burden. We used mixed-method
data to analyze recruitment effectiveness among a random sample of
households (N = 380) across two public housing developments in Boston,
MA who were approached for participation in a pre-COVID oral health
study. Quantitative data from detailed recruitment tracking methods was
analyzed to assess the relative efficiency of the methods employed.
Field journals of study staff were qualitatively analyzed to identify
community-specific recruitment barriers and facilitators. The
participation rate among randomly sampled households was 28.6\% (N =
131), with participation from primarily Hispanic (59.5\%) or Black
(26\%) residents. Door-to-door knocking with response yielded the
highest participation (44.8\%), followed by responses to informational
study flyers (31\%). Primary barriers to enrollment included references
to unemployment and employment variations, shift work, childcare
responsibilities, time demands, and managing multiple appointments and
social services. This study finds active, door-to-door knocking and
return visits resolved barriers to participation, and reduced safety
concerns and historic distrust. It''s time to consider how best to adapt
effective pre-COVID recruitment practices for utilization under current
and future exposure conditions as effective recruitment of populations
such as urban public housing residents into research is only becoming
more important.'
