增加少数群体对癌症研究的参与对于获得特定人群的癌症预防、筛查和治疗知识来说是伦理和统计上的必要条件。寻找和招募合格且愿意的少数族裔参与者提出了独特的结构和文化/语言挑战。基于社区的参与性研究提供了一套可行的原则，以促进难以招聘的社区的招聘。我们重点关注招募和吸引低收入和保险不足的拉丁裔女性参与癌症预防教育研究的具体挑战，并提出基于社区的策略，用于招募女性参加最近在亚利桑那州完成的一项研究，即“共同健康”（Juntas en la Salud）。社区代表和 promotoras（拉丁裔社区健康教育者）参与地点识别、个人招募以及制定干预措施的策略和材料，建立了参与和信任。这些策略导致了特别低收入、保险不足的人群的加入。为了强调招募服务特别不足的人群的程度，我们提供了将登记者的人口统计和筛选资料与亚利桑那州拉丁裔一般人群进行比较的数据。 (C) 2008 年，爱思唯尔公司出版。
Increasing minority participation in cancer research is an ethical and statistical necessity for gaining population-specific knowledge of cancer prevention, screening, and treatment. Locating and recruiting eligible and willing minority participants presents unique structural and cultural/ linguistic challenges. Community Based Participatory Research provides a viable set of principles for facilitating recruitment in hard-to-recruit communities. We focus on the specific challenge of recruiting and engaging low-income and underinsured Latina women in cancer prevention education research, and present community-based strategies used to recruit women into a recently completed study in Arizona, Juntas en la Salud (Together in Health). Community representatives and promotoras' (Latino community health educators) involvement in site identification, individual recruitment, and development of strategies and materials for the interventions built engagement and trust. These strategies resulted in enrollment of an especially low-income, underinsured population. To emphasize the degree to which a particularly underserved population was recruited, we present data comparing demographic and screening profiles of enrollees to the general population of Latinos in Arizona.
