Recruiting for a multicentre DoD and VA longitudinal study: lessons learned.
Brain Injury 2018
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the study is to identify and delineate effective recruitment practises in a large, multi-site, longitudinal, observational study employing both military service members and Veterans.
SETTING: Four Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium sites.
DESIGN: A descriptive study.
RESULTS: Overall and cohort-specific recruitment increased with the addition of focused recruitment strategies and a military/Veteran-centric recruitment director.
CONCLUSION: Use of site-specific strategies aligned with local Institutional Review Board procedures and emphasizing awareness of service member organizational allegiances was the key to effective recruiting. Adding a recruitment director with background similar to study participants coincided with significantly improved overall participant numbers and specific subpopulations of research subjects, thus adding to the value of the study.
