Identifier	Thesis 2121
Author	Fagan, Susan D., 1955-
Title	Enrollment of minorities into health research: a meta-analysis of the most effective recruitment methods
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This thesis seeks to identify the most effective recruitment methods relative to enrolling minorities into health research. Results found that recruitment methods such as face-to-face, telephone, media, word-of-mouth, institutions, direct mail and community contact had significantly different enrollment rates. A meta-analysis involving 71 studies that included 221,762 enrollees out of 782,202 contacts determined that the face-face recruitment method (comprised primarily of canvassing) had the highest enrollment rate at 78%. This enrollment rate, when compared with other methods was significantly higher (p<.001). Direct mail and media had the lowest rates compared to other methods (p<.001). These findings suggest that personal contact methods are most effective in recruiting minorities into health research. Through a meta-regression analysis of all recruitment methods, it was found that enrollment rates were not significantly different relative to race/ethnicity or sex. Enrollment rates were significant for participation burden, defined as the amount of work required of participants (p<.001). Results from a subgroup analysis looking at recruitment variables one at a time showed race/ethnicity, sex and participation burden did not affect the enrollment rate of each recruitment method.
