Effective recruitment and retention supports equitable participation in research. The aim of this paper is to describe recruitment and retention methods among residents of highly disadvantaged, predominantly African American communities in the southeastern US during the evaluation of a healthy food access initiative. We proposed that active and passive recruitment methods, intensive retention strategies, community outreach and involvement, over-enrollment to anticipate attrition, and applied principles of community participation would achieve the study’s recruitment and retention goals. The enrollment goal of 560 was met at 94% (n = 527), and the retention goal of 400 was achieved (n = 408).
