有必要确定参与的障碍，并制定招募战略，使幼儿的少数民族父母参与面向健康的研究。本文提供了在招募生活在渥太华（加拿大）的黑人移民母亲为一个以社区为基础的6至12岁儿童健康为导向的研究项目的策略和挑战的见解。我们招募了259对母子。大多数参与者是在社区活动、集市、宗教集会等场合被团队成员招募的。其他成功的策略包括参与者、社区合作伙伴和通过研究团队成员网络的推荐。大众媒体策略大多无效。即时和有意义的激励，发展社区伙伴关系，建立和确保研究的合法性和信任，将参与者的便利置于研究团队成员的便利之上，进行社区推广，现场获取联系信息，以及使用口口相传是招募人员的必要条件。这项研究清楚地表明了采用多种招聘策略的重要性。
There is a need to identify barriers to participation as well as recruitment strategies to engage minority parents of young children in health-oriented research. This paper offers insights on strategies and challenges in recruiting black immigrant mothers living in Ottawa (Canada) for a community-based health-oriented research project among 6-to-12-year-old children. We recruited 259 mother-child dyads. Most participants were recruited by team members during community events, fairs, religious gatherings, etc. Other successful strategies included referral from participants, community partners, and through research team members' networks. Mass media strategies were mostly ineffective. Instant and meaningful incentives, developing community partnerships, building and ensuring study legitimacy and trust, placing convenience of participants ahead of that of research team members, doing community outreach, and taking contact information on the spot, as well as using word-of-mouth were essential to recruiting. This study clearly indicates the importance of adopting multiple recruitment strategies.
