In September 2020, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched a novel volunteer research registry to rapidly recruit eligible study participants for research on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines and treatments at VA Medical Centers selected as study sites for COVID-19 clinical trials. Targeted multimedia outreach campaigns were used to recruit diverse populations, including those historically under-represented in medical research. By November 2022, 58,561 volunteers were enrolled in the registry, 19% of whom were women, 9% Hispanic/Latino, and 8% Black. The registry's strategic approach to outreach proved successful in recruiting diverse volunteers, with geotargeted e-mails recruiting the most diversity.
2020年9月,美国退伍军人事务部(VA)启动了一个新型志愿者研究登记系统,以便在被选为2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)临床试验研究地点的VA医疗中心,迅速招募符合条件的研究参与者,参与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)及COVID-19疫苗和治疗方法的研究。针对性的多媒体宣传活动用于招募不同人群,包括那些在医学研究中历来代表性不足的人群。到2022年11月,该登记系统已登记了58561名志愿者,其中19%为女性,9%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔,8%为黑人。该登记系统的战略性宣传方法在招募不同志愿者方面被证明是成功的,地理定位电子邮件招募的多样性最强。
