招募是对少数民族人口进行研究的最重大挑战之一。与为少数民族社区服务的组织建立关系可促进征聘工作。为了成功地开展征聘工作，在开展社区外联工作之前，必须制定一项战略行动计划。对于这项研究中艾滋病毒阳性并从药物滥用障碍中恢复的妇女人群，作者发现，与为这些妇女服务的社区组织建立信任可以建立富有成效的转介关系。虽然这项研究中的大多数女性是非洲裔美国人，但作者在招募西班牙裔女性时面临特别的挑战。本文提出了一个招聘过程模型，促进了我们的招聘工作，并帮助作者组织，记录和评估他们的社区外展战略。护士和其他卫生研究人员可以采用和调整这种模式，以加强少数群体的参与。
Recruitment is one of the most significant challenges in conducting research with ethnic minority populations. Establishing relationships with organizations that serve ethnic minority communities can facilitate recruitment. To create a successful recruitment process, a strategic plan of action is necessary prior to implementing community outreach efforts. For this study population of women who were HIV+ and recovering from substance abuse disorder, the authors found that establishing trust with community organizations that serve these women allows for a productive referral relationship. Although the majority of women in this study are African American, the authors were particularly challenged in recruiting Hispanic women. This article presents a recruitment process model that has facilitated our recruitment efforts and has helped the authors to organize, document, and evaluate their community outreach strategies. This model can be adopted and adapted by nurses and other health researchers to enhance engagement of minority populations.
