To better meet the needs of eligible African American men who were reluctant to enroll in a 5-year study called the Program for Strong African American Marriages (ProSAAM), we employed two focus groups to listen to the voices of a sample of the population being recruited and to explore their feedback about taking part in such a marriage enrichment program and how best to recruit other African American men. We explain our application of the focus group results to our recruitment of African American married couples for ProSAAM. The positive outcomes from the implementation of these results can provide potential ideas for those seeking innovative means to improve recruitment of African American men to programs that strengthen marital relationships.
为了更好地满足那些不愿意参加一项名为“强化非裔美国人婚姻计划”（ProSAAM）的 5 年研究的合格非裔美国男性的需求，我们采用了两个焦点小组来倾听招募人群的意见，并探讨他们对参与这种婚姻充实计划的反馈意见，以及如何最好地招募其他非裔美国男性。我们解释了如何将焦点小组的结果应用于 ProSAAM 招募非裔美国家庭。这些结果的积极成果可以为那些寻求创新方法来加强婚姻关系项目中招募非裔美国男性的人提供潜在思路。
