The present paper discusses recruitment of older African-Americans for a psycho-physiological study using the matching model of recruitment proposed by Levkoff, Levy, and Weitzman (2000). The hallmark of the model by Levkoff et al. is that there must be a match between research and minority communities' perspectives in order for successful recruitment and retention of minority participants. The model by Levkoff et al. of recruitment differs from other recruitment strategies as it incorporates perspectives from both researchers and research institutions, as well as potential minority participants. The importance of holding pre-recruitment community focus groups based upon the tenets of the matching model of recruitment are discussed in this paper, and a community-based partnership research model is presented.
本文讨论了采用列夫科夫、利维及韦茨曼（2000年）提出的匹配招募模型，招募年长非裔美国人参与一项心理生理学研究。列夫科夫等人提出的模型的特点是，研究与少数族裔社区的观点必须相互匹配，才能成功招募并留住少数族裔参与者。列夫科夫等人提出的招募模型与其他招募策略不同，因为它纳入了研究人员、研究机构以及潜在少数族裔参与者的观点。本文讨论了基于匹配招募模型的原则举行招募前社区焦点小组的重要性，并提出了一种基于社区的伙伴关系研究模型。
