Abstract

Abstracts
In pragmatic trials, recruited participants should be as similar to those who would eventually utilize the intervention as possible. The purpose of this presentation is to describe recruitment and enrollment of participants into the Adult Day Services (ADS) Plus study. The recruitment process is a collaboration between the study team and the ADS partner sites participating in the study. Adult daycare sites are primarily responsible for advertising the study to caregivers. The research team provides sites with IRB approved recruitment materials (flyers, letters, FAQ, and wording for newsletters) or distribution to caregivers. Prospective participants sign a consent to contact form that is then sent to the research team which then reaches out to complete the consent and baseline data collection by telephone. Caregivers may also contact the research team directly using a toll-free number. Using these methods, we have received 121 inquiries in eight months of active recruitment.
