Filipinos, the second largest Asian subgroup in the U.S., experience significant youth behavioral health disparities but remain under-represented in health research. We describe lessons learned from using the Matching Model of Recruitment to recruit 215 Filipinos to participate in a large, randomized controlled trial of a culturally tailored video aimed at increasing enrollment in the Incredible Years® Parent Program. We recruited participants from schools, churches, clinics, community events, and other community-based locations. Facilitators of participation included: partnership with local community groups, conducting research in familiar settings, building on existing social networks, and matching perspectives of community members and researchers. Findings suggest recruitment success occurs when there is a match between goals of Filipino parents, grandparents and the research community. Understanding the perspectives of ethnic minority communities and effectively communicating goals of research studies are critical to successful recruitment of hard-to-reach immigrant populations in randomized controlled trials.
菲律宾人是美国第二大亚洲少数族裔群体，在青少年行为健康方面存在显著差异，但在健康研究中代表性不足。我们描述了使用匹配招募模型招募 215 名菲律宾人参与一项大型随机对照试验的经验，该试验旨在通过文化适应的视频来增加参与 Incredible Years®父母计划的人数。我们从学校、教堂、诊所、社区活动和其他社区场所招募参与者。参与的促进因素包括：与当地社区团体合作，在熟悉的环境中开展研究，利用现有的社交网络，以及匹配社区成员和研究人员的观点。研究结果表明，当菲律宾父母、祖父母和研究社区的目标一致时，招募就会成功。了解少数族裔社区的观点并有效地传达研究目标对于在随机对照试验中成功招募难以接触的移民群体至关重要。
