Filipino Americans have greater risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related complications compared to other Asian populations and non-Hispanic Whites. There are few diabetes intervention studies focused on Filipinos and limited evidence regarding the best recruitment strategies for this hard-to-reach population.
This article examined barriers and facilitators to recruitment of Filipino families for the "Caring for Asian Americans through Research and Education on T2D" (CARE-T2D) study, which took place in California from June 2018 through June 2019.
Recruitment of 50 Filipino dyads (parent with T2D and adult child) were successfully met. Gaining trust through culturally tailored strategies was key in recruiting Filipino participants. Tiwala (gaining trust) strategies involved: 1) using Filipino staff as role models for research engagement and 2) incorporating narrative communications or "kuwentuhan" (Filipino cultural storytelling) with recruitment. Other facilitating strategies included in-person presentations at local colleges and organizations, Filipino community leaders' support, snowball sampling, previous study participant listservs, and posting fliers on family/friends' personal social media sites. Barriers to recruitment included research mistrust, confidentiality concerns, and risks of violating cultural values.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to recruit Filipino family dyads. Findings will inform researchers and clinicians on how best to recruit Filipino families in community health-related research and public health programs.
与其他亚洲人群和非西班牙裔白人相比，菲律宾裔美国人患 2 型糖尿病（T2D）及相关并发症的风险更高。针对菲律宾人开展的糖尿病干预研究较少，针对这一难以接触的人群，最佳招募策略的证据有限。
本文探讨了在加利福尼亚州开展的“通过 T2D 研究和教育关爱亚裔美国人”（CARE-T2D）研究中招募菲律宾裔美国家庭的障碍和促进因素，该研究于 2018 年 6 月至 2019 年 6 月进行。
成功招募了 50 对菲律宾裔美国家庭（父母患有 T2D 和成年子女）。通过量身定制的文化策略获得信任是招募菲律宾参与者的关键。Tiwala（获得信任）策略包括：1）使用菲律宾工作人员作为参与研究的榜样；2）在招募过程中融入叙事沟通或“kuwentuhan”（菲律宾文化讲故事）。其他促进策略包括在当地学院和组织进行现场演示、菲律宾社区领袖的支持、滚雪球抽样、之前研究参与者名单、以及在家人/朋友的个人社交媒体网站上发布传单。招募的障碍包括对研究的不信任、对保密性的担忧以及违反文化价值观的风险。
据我们所知，这是第一项招募菲律宾裔美国家庭的研究。研究结果将为研究人员和临床医生提供信息，了解如何在社区健康相关研究和公共卫生计划中最好地招募菲律宾裔美国家庭。
