This study explores the recruitment and retention strategies used by community health workers (CHWs) who enrolled Korean Americans in a church-based, randomized trial to promote mammogram and Pap tests and retained them over 6 months. We conducted four focus groups with 23 CHWs. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis. Themes were identified in relation to recruitment: personal networks, formal networks at churches, building on trust and respect, and facilitating a non-threatening environment. Themes were identified for retention: trust and peer support. Qualified, well-trained CHWs can recruit and retain hard-to-reach immigrant women in a randomized trial by using multiple culturally sensitive strategies.
