| Popis: | Objectives To describe recruitment of Latinas in a randomized clinical trial conducted within 2 health care organizations. Methods The study relied on project-initiated telephone calls as part of a multifaceted recruitment approach. Chi-square and t tests were conducted to compare participants and nonparticipants on a number of variables. Results From 4045 telephone contacts, 280 Latinas agreed to participate. Most were ineligible due to non-Latino ethnicity (89%). Of eligible candidates, 61% took part. Few significant differences were found on participant vs nonparticipant characteristics. Conclusions Using appropriate recruitment procedures, a representative sample of Latinas can be obtained. |
