目的：我们的目标是开发妇女的健康登记处，一个研究参与者的数据库，前瞻性地收集潜在的研究对象的详细信息，以协助他们与开放的研究协议，并评估调查使用和满意度与此Registry.Methods：妇女的健康登记处于1999年推出。招募年龄≥ 18岁的妇女，将其纳入有兴趣参与研究的妇女数据库，并完成健康问卷。鼓励妇女健康研究人员与IRB批准的项目申请进入登记册的参与者。在2003年，第一个15名调查员使用妇女健康登记处被要求参加一个标准化的开放式访谈，以评估调查员的满意度与此招聘tool.Results：The Women's Health Registry is currently populated with 2436 women：18-34岁的占36.8%，35-54岁的占39.9%，55-69岁的占16.8%，70岁以上的占6.4%。在这些女性中，84%是高加索人，8.5%是非洲裔美国人。与15名研究人员中的13名进行了结构化访谈，结果显示，这些研究人员招募的受试者中有36.4%是从妇女健康登记处招募的。此外，登记处的参与者比通过其他方法联系的妇女更有可能参加他们的研究方案。大多数调查人员的期望，从妇女的健康登记处得到满足，除了进入更年期women.Conclusions：妇女的健康登记处成功开发，并与适当的协议连接妇女的目标是满足了显着的调查满意度。
Objective: The goal was to develop the Women's Health Registry, a research participant database that prospectively collects detailed information on potential research subjects to assist in linking them with open research protocols and to assess investigator use and satisfaction with this Registry.Methods: The Women's Health Registry was launched in 1999. Women aged >= 18 years were recruited to enroll in a database of women with interest in research participation and to complete a health questionnaire. Women's health researchers with IRB-approved projects were encouraged to apply for access to the Registry participants. In 2003, the first 15 investigators to use the Women's Health Registry were asked to participate in a standardized open-ended interview to assess investigator satisfaction with this recruitment tool.Results: The Women's Health Registry is currently populated with 2436 women: 36.8% aged 18-34, 39.9% aged 35-54, 16.8% aged 55-69, and 6.4% aged >= 70 years. Of these women, 84% are Caucasian and 8.5% are African American. Structured interviews with 13 of the 15 investigators contacted revealed that 36.4% of the total subject enrollment recruited by these investigators was recruited from the Women's Health Registry. In addition, Registry participants were more likely to enroll in their research protocols than women contacted through other methods. Most of the investigators' expectations from the Women's Health Registry were met, except for access to menopausal women.Conclusions: The Women's Health Registry was successfully developed, and the goal of linking women with appropriate protocols was met with significant investigator satisfaction.
