This study examines factors associated with recruitment and retention of Latino, Dominican (DR) and mainland Puerto Rican (PR), and non-Latino white (NLW) families into a pediatric asthma study. Over eleven hundred (n=1185) families were screened, and 489 (n= 174 NLW, n= 160 DR, n= 155 PR) were enrolled. Rates of recruitment by source of recruitment and rates of retention differed by ethnic group. Families whose caregiver had never married had lower odds of completing the study. The findings highlight the need for further study to examine the effectiveness of specific recruitment and retention strategies with Latino and non-Latino white families.
本研究调查了与拉丁裔、多米尼加裔（DR）、波多黎各本土裔（PR）以及非拉丁裔白人（NLW）家庭参与一项儿科哮喘研究的招募及留存相关的因素。对1100多个（n = 1185）家庭进行了筛查，489个家庭（n = 174个NLW家庭、n = 160个DR家庭、n = 155个PR家庭）被纳入研究。按招募来源划分的招募率以及留存率因种族群体而异。照料者从未结婚的家庭完成研究的几率较低。研究结果凸显了进一步开展研究以检验针对拉丁裔和非拉丁裔白人家庭的特定招募及留存策略有效性的必要性。
