Abstrakt:	Our objective was to determine which messaging approaches from a marketing campaign were most effective in recruiting African American individuals to a glaucoma screening and research study. We conducted a multimedia marketing campaign in Philadelphia from 01/31/2018 to 06/30/2018. Messaging approaches included radio advertisements and interviews (conducted in partnership with a local radio station with a large African American listener base), print materials, event tables, and online postings. Participants received free glaucoma screenings and the opportunity to enroll in our glaucoma genetics study. These screenings allowed individuals with glaucoma to receive a full examination and treatment plan with a glaucoma specialist, as well as to contribute to future efforts to identify genetic variants underlying this disease. We compared inquiry, enrollment, and cost yield for each messaging approach. Our campaign resulted in 154 unique inquiries, with 98 patients receiving glaucoma screenings (64%) and 60 patients enrolling in our study (39%). Commercials on WURD radio yielded the highest number of inquiries (62%) and enrollments (62%), but at relatively high cost ($814/enrolled patient). The most inexpensive approach that yielded more than five enrollments was postcards ($429/enrolled patient). Our campaign suggests that high-frequency commercials and postcards distributed at targeted healthcare locations are particularly effective and affordable options for connecting with the African American community. Our findings can help to inform recruitment efforts for other understudied diseases in minority populations. (© 2020 The Authors.)
