关于选择文化上合适的方法从拉美裔人口中获得数据的信息有限，拉美裔人口目前是美国最大和增长最快的少数民族。由于缺乏指导调查员在研究研究中招募和保留拉美裔的知识，拉美裔人口仍然得不到充分的研究和服务。这篇文章描述了在招募西班牙裔妇女参加一项研究中遇到的许多挑战，该研究考察了乳腺癌幸存者的适应情况。拒绝参加的比率出乎意料地高，这就需要采取更多的招聘战略，包括重新强调研究的重要性，并选择与社区其他成员分组会面。拒绝参与这项研究的女性表示，她们担心失去健康福利，家庭成员的影响，以及情绪压力的复发。还讨论了仪器问题。开发、完善和测试在研究研究中招募拉美裔妇女的有效方法的学习过程仍然是一项持续的努力；希望通过这些努力，具有文化能力的医疗保健能够成为现实。
Limited information is available regarding the selection of culturally appropriate methods for obtaining data from the Hispanic population, which is currently the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States. Due to this lack of knowledge which would guide the investigator in the recruitment and retention of Hispanics in research studies, the Hispanic population remains understudied and underserved. This article describes the numerous challenges that were encountered in the actual process of recruiting Hispanic women into a research study which examined adjustment among breast cancer survivors. The rate of refusal to participate was unexpectedly high, which necessitated additional recruitment strategies, including a renewed emphasis on the importance of the study and the option of meeting with other members of the community in a group. Women who refused to participate in the study stated concerns related to a loss of health benefits, the influence of family members, and a recurrence of emotional stress. Instrument issues are also addressed. This learning process of developing, refining, and testing effective methods for recruiting Hispanic women in research studies remains an ongoing endeavor; through these efforts it is hoped that culturally competent health care can become a reality.
