PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of the study is to identify and delineate effective recruitment practises in a large, multi-site, longitudinal, observational study employing both military service members and Veterans.
SETTING
Four Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium sites.
DESIGN
A descriptive study.
RESULTS
Overall and cohort-specific recruitment increased with the addition of focused recruitment strategies and a military/Veteran-centric recruitment director.
CONCLUSION
Use of site-specific strategies aligned with local Institutional Review Board procedures and emphasizing awareness of service member organizational allegiances was the key to effective recruiting. Adding a recruitment director with background similar to study participants coincided with significantly improved overall participant numbers and specific subpopulations of research subjects, thus adding to the value of the study.
主要目标
本研究的主要目标是在一项涉及现役军人和退伍军人的大型、多地点、纵向观察性研究中，识别并描述有效的招募方法。
研究地点
神经创伤联盟的四个慢性影响研究地点。
研究设计
一项描述性研究。
结果
随着针对性招募策略的增加以及设立以军人/退伍军人为核心的招募主管，总体招募人数以及特定队列的招募人数有所增加。
结论
采用与当地机构审查委员会程序相一致的特定地点策略，并强调对军人组织忠诚度的认知，是有效招募的关键。增加一名具有与研究参与者相似背景的招募主管，使得总体参与者数量以及特定研究对象亚群显著增加，从而提升了研究价值。
