Latinos constitute a hard-to-reach minority population in Iowa.
We used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to supplement random digit dialing (RDD) to recruit Latinos for a community physical activity intervention.
RDS yielded a 59% increase in Latino participation in just two months, with few demographic differences between RDS and RDD groups.
RDS may increase recruitment of underrepresented populations and strengthen community engagement; however, it is not a quick fix for underperforming recruitment methods.
拉丁裔在爱荷华州是难以接触到的少数族裔群体。
我们采用应答驱动抽样(RDS)来补充随机数字拨号(RDD),以招募拉丁裔参与社区体育活动干预。
仅在两个月内,应答驱动抽样使拉丁裔的参与率提高了59%,应答驱动抽样组和随机数字拨号组之间在人口统计学上几乎没有差异。
应答驱动抽样可能会增加对代表性不足人群的招募,并加强社区参与度;然而,对于表现不佳的招募方法,它并非快速解决方案。
