招募参与临床试验的受试者仍然是一个重大挑战,特别是对于涉及敏感性主题的研究,如大便失禁(FI)。在纤维研究中,一项关于FI症状管理的随机对照试验,我们通过与基于专业和基于社区的环境合作,成功招募了189名社区生活成年人,每个人都采用了针对其网站组织特征的方法。结果表明,使用这两种设置增加了样本的种族和民族多样性,并纳入非正式的照顾者。研究中心对入组、最终合格性或方案完成情况无差异影响。与互补研究中心的战略合作可以实现敏感或已知漏报主题的临床试验样本招募目标。© 2010 Wiley Periodicals,Inc. Res Nurs Health 33:500-511,2010
Recruitment of participants to clinical trials remains a significant challenge, especially for research addressing topics of a sensitive nature such as fecal incontinence (FI). In the Fiber Study, a randomized controlled trial on symptom management for FI, we successfully enrolled 189 community‐living adults through collaborations with specialty‐based and community‐based settings, each employing methods tailored to the organizational characteristics of their site. Results show that using the two settings increased racial and ethnic diversity of the sample and inclusion of informal caregivers. There were no differential effects on enrollment, final eligibility, or completion of protocol by site. Strategic collaborations with complementary sites can achieve sample recruitment goals for clinical trials on topics that are sensitive or known to be underreported. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
