| Popis: | OBJECTIVE To describe promising recruitment and retention strategies for transient Latino populations, assisting investigators who work with this population in their research design and implementation. METHODS Strategies in recruitment and retention from a year-long intervention in children and their families are described. RESULTS Of the 159 families who agreed to participate in the program, 123 parent-child dyads were enrolled. Retention rates were 59% in the control group, 67% in the intervention group. CONCLUSION Building and maintaining relationships between a consistent study team contact and participants promote strong recruitment and retention outcomes. Barriers such as child care and transportation must be minimized. |
