Novel Approaches to Identifying and Engaging Disadvantaged Patients With Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in Clinical Research
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Relational Research Recruitment and Engagement Intervention for Dementia and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 182 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Despite well-documented disparities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (AD) prevalence, incidence, treatment, and mortality, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. racial/ethnic minorities and socioeconomically disadvantaged persons) are under-represented in clinical research. Existing research recruitment approaches are rarely designed to accommodate the priorities, concerns, and constraints relevant to participants from diverse backgrounds. To address these gaps, the investigators developed a research recruitment and engagement model, the Participant Oriented Research Engagement Model that centers and prioritizes relational aspects of research engagement, research participant needs, and systematically address socioeconomic determinants (i.e. unmet needs) that may limit accessibility of research. The investigators propose to test the effectiveness of the Brain Health Community (BHC) Registry recruitment and engagement intervention, as compared to standard research recruitment strategies in modifying enrollment rates, participant satisfaction, and engagement. The investigators hypothesize that the BHC Registry will yield greater enrollment rates, higher satisfaction, and better ratings of relational engagement.

* Specified recruiter/point of contact * Flexibility in study time, place, method of recruitment (preferred participant email, phone), and follow-up (in registry, if participant calls back at all restart 3 failed phone contacts) * Resource matching (financial, transportation constraints)
