The success of a study hinges on its recruitment procedures, however there is a paucity of papers focused on innovative recruitment strategies, especially as it relates to the recruitment and retention of marginalized populations. This paper aims to outline how consent-to-contact databases can be used as an effective tool for recruitment. First, we begin by describing the consent-to-contact databases we used. Then, we offer insight into how a consent-to-contact database was utilized to recruit Latino older adults with HIV participants for an interdisciplinary behavioral and physical health promotion intervention. We outline barriers and challenges to recruitment and research participation with a specific emphasis on the unique hurdles associated with recruiting and retaining racial/ethnic minority older adults with HIV in behavioral health studies. Finally, we provide final recommendations for future researchers interested in how to best employ this type of recruitment tool in their own research.
研究的成功取决于其招募程序，然而，关注创新招募策略的文献却很少，尤其是在涉及到边缘化人群的招募和保留方面。本文旨在概述同意联络数据库如何可用作招募的有效工具。首先，我们开始描述我们使用的同意联络数据库。然后，我们深入了解如何利用同意联络数据库招募感染艾滋病毒的拉丁裔老年参与者参加跨学科行为和身体健康促进干预措施。我们概述了与招募和参与研究相关的障碍和挑战，并特别强调了与在行为健康研究中招募和保留感染艾滋病毒的少数族裔老年参与者相关的独特障碍。最后，我们为有兴趣了解如何在自己的研究中最好地使用这种类型的招募工具的未来研究人员提供最终建议。
