在长期队列研究中，保留对于统计功效和外部效度很重要。我们的研究的目的是评估不同的保留策略在柏林，德国的土耳其裔成年人的队列研究，并比较参与者和非参与者。2011-2012年，在土耳其裔成年人中开展了一项基于人口的研究，主要审查招募战略。6年后，再次联系参与者，并邀请他们完成一份关于他们的健康状况，医疗保健利用和医疗服务满意度的自我报告问卷。留住人才的策略包括用德语和土耳其语写信、打电话和家访（由双语工作人员）。我们使用美国民意研究协会的定义计算了回应率和留存率，以及每个接触级别的相对留存率。通过Logistic回归分析，研究了基线招募策略、社会人口学、迁移相关和健康相关因素与保留的关系。在接触的557人中，有249人（44.7%）完成了调查问卷。这是50.1%的人的联系信息可用。电话的相对留存率最低（8.9%），家访的相对留存率最高（18.4%）。参与者通常是非吸烟者和德国公民，而不是非参与者。在这项研究中，土耳其裔成年人的留存率随着接触的增加而显著增加。实施文化匹配的研究人员提供的全面保留策略，可能会导致更高的有效性和统计能力在移民健康问题的研究。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1007/s10903-021-01309-1获得。
Retention is important for statistical power and external validity in long-term cohort studies. The aims of our study were to evaluate different retention strategies within a cohort study of adults of Turkish descent in Berlin, Germany, and to compare participants and non-participants. In 2011–2012, a population-based study was conducted among adults of Turkish descent to primarily examine recruitment strategies. 6 years later, the participants were re-contacted and invited to complete a self-report questionnaire regarding their health status, health care utilization, and satisfaction with medical services. The retention strategy comprised letters in both German and Turkish, phone calls, and home visits (by bilingual staff). We calculated the response rate and retention rate, using definitions of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, as well as the relative retention rate for each level of contact. Associations of baseline recruitment strategy, sociodemographic, migration-related and health-related factors with retention were investigated by logistic regression analysis. Of 557 persons contacted, 249 (44.7%) completed the questionnaire. This was 50.1% of those whose contact information was available. The relative retention rate was lowest for phone calls (8.9%) and highest for home visits (18.4%). Participants were more often non-smokers and German citizens than non-participants. For all remaining factors, no association with retention was found. In this study, among adults of Turkish descent, the retention rate increased considerably with every additional level of contact. Implementation of comprehensive retention strategies provided by culturally matched study personnel may lead to higher validity and statistical power in studies on migrant health issues.
