关于招募少数群体参加临床或人口研究的经验数据有限。作者在1998-2001年的非裔美国人和拉丁美洲人肺癌病例对照研究中评价了基于人群和社区的招募方法。对于加州州弗朗西斯科湾区的肺癌病例，肿瘤登记处结合电话筛查的快速病例确认确定了470名（9%）非洲裔美国人和262名（5%）拉丁美洲人。当随机数字拨号（RDD）和卫生保健融资管理局（HCFA）的记录未能产生足够的。适当的控制数量。年龄-性别-族裔群体，采用基于社区的招募方法。通过招募方法，将对照组的人口统计学特征和行为及职业危险因素与肺癌病例进行比较，以评估潜在的偏倚。每个对照组招募的平均花费小时数为RDD 18.6小时，HCFA 11.4小时，社区为基础的方法不到1小时。非裔美国人社区对照组中吸烟相关肺癌危险因素的患病率显著高于通过RDP确定的吸烟相关肺癌危险因素（p
Empiric data on recruitment of minorities into clinical or population studies are limited. The authors evaluated population- and community-based recruitment methods in a 1998-2001 case-control study of lung cancer among African Americans and Latinos. For lung cancer cases in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, rapid case ascertainment by the tumor registry combined with telephone screening identified 470 (9%) African Americans and 262 (5%) Latinos. When random digit dialing (RDD) and Health Care Financing Administration(HCFA) records failed to yield adequate. numbers of controls in appropriate. age-gender-ethnicity groups, community-based recruitment methods were used. Demographic characteristics and behavioral and occupational risk factors for controls, by recruitment method, were compared with those for lung cancer cases to evaluate potential bias. The average numbers of hours spent per control recruited were 18.6 for RDD, 11.4 for HCFA, and less than 1 for the community-based methods. The prevalence of smoking-related lung cancer risk factors was significantly higher among African-American community-based controls than for those identified through RDP (p
