abstract: 'BackgroundThe recruitment of participants into community-based
|
|
|
|
randomized controlled trials studying childhood obesity is often
|
|
|
|
challenging, especially from low-income racial/ethnical minorities and
|
|
|
|
when long-term participant commitments are required. This paper
|
|
|
|
describes strategies used to recruit and enroll predominately low-income
|
|
|
|
racial/ethnic minority parents and children into the Childhood Obesity
|
|
|
|
Prevention and Treatment Research (COPTR) consortium.MethodsThe COPTR
|
|
|
|
consortium has run four independent 3-year, multi-level (individual,
|
|
|
|
family, school, clinic, and community) community-based randomized
|
|
|
|
controlled trials. Two were prevention trials in preschool children and
|
|
|
|
the other two were treatment trials in pre-adolescents and adolescent
|
|
|
|
youth. All trials reported monthly participant recruitment numbers using
|
|
|
|
a standardized method over the projected 18-24months of recruitment.
|
|
|
|
After randomization of participants was completed, recruitment staff and
|
|
|
|
investigators from each trial retrospectively completed a survey of
|
|
|
|
recruitment strategies and their perceived top three recruitment
|
|
|
|
strategies and barriers.ResultsRecruitment was completed in 15-21months
|
|
|
|
across trials, enrolling a total of 1745 parent-child dyads- out of 6314
|
|
|
|
screened. The number of children screened per randomized child was 4.6
|
|
|
|
and 3.5 in the two prevention trials, and 3.1 and 2.5 in the two
|
|
|
|
treatment trials. Recruitment strategies reported included: (1) careful
|
|
|
|
planning, (2) working with trusting community partners, (3) hiring
|
|
|
|
recruitment staff who were culturally sensitive, personality
|
|
|
|
appropriate, and willing to work flexible hours, (4) contacting
|
|
|
|
potential participants actively and repeatedly, (5) recruiting at times
|
|
|
|
and locations convenient for participants, (6) providing incentives to
|
|
|
|
participants to complete baseline measures, (7) using a tracking
|
|
|
|
database, (8) evaluating whether participants understand the activities
|
|
|
|
and expectations of the study, and (9) assessing participants''
|
|
|
|
motivation for participating. Working with community partners, hiring
|
|
|
|
culturally sensitive staff, and contacting potential participants
|
|
|
|
repeatedly were cited by two trials among their top three strategies.
|
|
|
|
The requirement of a 3-year commitment to the trial was cited by two
|
|
|
|
trials to be among the top three recruitment
|
|
|
|
barriers.ConclusionsComprehensive strategies that include community
|
|
|
|
partnership support, culturally sensitive recruitment staff, and
|
|
|
|
repeated contacts with potential participants can result in successful
|
|
|
|
recruitment of low-income racial/ethnic minority families into obesity
