目的：对比较招募老年人的不同策略的有效性的论文进行系统综述（50岁及以上）参与健康研究研究，以指导未来研究的成功招募。方法：检索1995年至2008年期间发表的四个主要数据库的论文：50岁及以上的目标人群;分配接受两种或两种以上招募策略之一的参与者;以及研究应答率或招募的结果指标。结果：12篇论文被纳入综述。结论：对于邮寄问卷调查，与老年人使用的招聘策略有可比的结果，从一般人群中招聘。对于其他类型的研究，涉及面对面接触的策略可能比间接方法更有效，但这需要与可行性相平衡。总体而言，关于这一主题的证据很少，需要进行更严格的调查。
Aim:To provide a systematic review of papers comparing the effectiveness of different strategies to recruit older adults (aged 50 years and over) to participate in health research studies, to guide successful recruitment in future research.Methods:Four major databases were searched for papers published between 1995 and 2008 with: target group aged 50 years or over; participants allocated to receive one of two or more recruitment strategies; and an outcome measure of response rate or enrolment in study.Results:Twelve papers were included in the review.Conclusion:For postal questionnaires, recruitment strategies used with older adults had comparable outcomes to those used to recruit from the general population. For other types of studies, strategies involving face-to-face contact may be more effective than indirect methods, but this needs to be balanced against feasibility. Overall, little evidence on the topic exists and more rigorous investigation is necessary.
