The authors evaluated procedures for recruiting college students for sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing as part of a research study examining the impact of HSV serologic testing.
A convenience sample of 100 students was drawn from students aged 18 to 35 years enrolled at one university in a mid- Atlantic state between September 2004 and March 2006.
Six strategies were used to recruit students for participation in the study. Upon enrollment, participants were asked where they heard about the study. Students were also asked about their motivations for participation.
Findings show that a significant recruitment strategy involves targeting places where students seek health care. Other effective strategies include those where information is directly provided to individuals. Most students were motivated to participate because of a possible past exposure to herpes simplex virus 2.
Targeting places where students seek health care and educating students about STDs are important strategies for recruiting students for STD testing.
作为一项研究单纯疱疹病毒血清学检测影响的研究的一部分,作者评估了招募大学生进行性传播疾病(STD)检测的程序。
2004年9月至2006年3月期间,从大西洋中部一个州一所大学18至35岁的学生中抽取了100名学生作为便利样本。
采用六种策略招募学生参与研究。登记时,询问参与者他们是从哪里听说这项研究的。还询问了学生参与的动机。
研究结果表明,一个重要的招募策略是针对学生寻求医疗保健的场所。其他有效的策略包括直接向个人提供信息的场所。大多数学生因可能曾接触过单纯疱疹病毒2而有参与的动机。
针对学生寻求医疗保健的场所并对学生进行性传播疾病教育是招募学生进行性传播疾病检测的重要策略。
