本文描述和评估招募方法，用于达到成年人感染艾滋病毒，并招募合格的候选人在有氧运动的随机试验。从1994年1月至1996年12月招募了居住在大都会华盛顿DC地区的潜在参与者。诊所中心现场访问（CSV）招聘的收益率和相关成本相比，以社区为基础的（CB）招聘策略，其中包括介绍给当地团体，邮件/电话拉票的照顾者，邻里网络推广，公共网站张贴和印刷媒体通知的类似结果。在招募阶段确定为前瞻性研究候选人的833名HIV感染成人中，66.7%在CSV招募期间首次接触。其余33.3%是CB新兵。对于CSV招募，随后入组研究的筛选候选人百分比为13.5%，对于CB招募，为21%。确定和筛选成本合计为每名CB招募人员158美元，而每名CSV招募人员232美元。通过多种招募方法，我们成功实现了在计划招募期结束前从不同人群中招募至少100名志愿者的目标。
This paper describes and evaluates recruitment methods used to reach adults with HIV infection and to enroll eligible candidates in a randomized trial of aerobic exercise. Potential participants residing in the metropolitan Washington DC area were recruited from January 1994 to December 1996. The yield and associated cost of clinic centre site-visit (CSV) recruitment are compared to similar outcomes for community-based (CB) recruitment strategies, which consisted of presentations to local groups, mail/phone canvasses of caregivers, neighbourhood network promotion, public site postings and print media notices. Of 833 HIV infected adults ascertained during the recruitment phase as prospective study candidates, 66.7% were initially contacted during CSV recruitment. The remainder, 33.3% were CB recruits. The percentage of screened candidates who were subsequently enrolled in the study was 13.5% for CSV recruitment and 21% for CB recruitment. Ascertainment and screening costs combined were $158 per CB recruit compared to $232 per CSV recruit. Using multiple recruitment approaches we successfully achieved our enrollment goal of at least 100 volunteers from diverse populations by the end of the planned recruitment period.
