背景：对智力和发育障碍妇女进行循证健康促进干预的必要性至关重要。然而，显着的障碍，阻碍他们参与研究，包括那些有关招聘和获得知情consent.MethodsThis研究描述了一个程序的招聘和同意的妇女与智力残疾到一个以社区为基础的，多网站的随机对照trial.ResultsOf 269名妇女参加了信息会议，203（75%）参加了这项研究。虽然妇女有和没有法律的监护人同意在相同的近似率（83%和85%，分别），那些与法律的监护人报名参加了显着较低的利率（61%），因为较低的利率（74%）的监护人consent.ConclusionsIt是可能的招募社区居住的智力残疾的妇女进入随机对照试验，在相对较高的参与率。招募有监护人的妇女给研究人员带来了额外的挑战。
BackgroundThe need for evidence-based health promotion interventions for women with intellectual and developmental disabilities is critical. However, significant barriers impede them from participating in research, including those related to recruitment and obtaining informed consent.MethodsThis study describes a procedure for the recruitment and consent of women with intellectual disabilities into a community-based, multi-site randomised controlled trial.ResultsOf 269 women who participated in information sessions, 203 (75%) enrolled in the study. While women with and without legal guardians consented at the same approximate rates (83% and 85%, respectively), those with legal guardians enrolled at significantly lower rates (61%) because of lower rates (74%) of guardian consent.ConclusionsIt is possible to recruit community-dwelling women with intellectual disabilities into randomised controlled trials at relatively high participation rates. Recruiting women who have guardians poses additional challenges for researchers.
