A Comparison of Mobile Social Media Promotion and Volunteer-Driven Strategies for Community Organizations Recruiting Men Who Have Sex with Men for HIV Testing in Zhejiang Province, China: Cross-Sectional Study Based on a Large-Scale Survey

A Comparison of Mobile Social Media Promotion and Volunteer-Driven Strategies for Community Organizations Recruiting Men Who Have Sex with Men for HIV Testing in Zhejiang Province, China: Cross-Sectional Study Based on a Large-Scale Survey

Community organizations primarily use 3 methods to recruit MSM for HIV testing. The initial approach was a volunteer-driven strategy that involved active recruitment. Community-organized volunteers and peer educators were recruited from venues frequented by MSM, including parks, bars, and bathhouses, for in-person HIV testing and interventions. In addition, MSM who have not been tested for HIV for over 6 months are also mobilized for testing by these volunteers.

User Requirements for an Electronic Patient Recruitment System: Semistructured Interview Analysis After First Implementation in 3 German University Hospitals

User Requirements for an Electronic Patient Recruitment System: Semistructured Interview Analysis After First Implementation in 3 German University Hospitals

The implemented systems, namely, recru IT and KAS+, were evaluated in this feedback analysis. Both systems are briefly presented in the following paragraphs. As part of the MIRACUM project, a recruitment system has been in place at several sites to support a wide range of trials [10]. Based on previously identified system requirements [11], the software recru IT (MIRACUM project) was developed. The system is shown in Figure 1 and described in detail in [11].

Measuring Relationship Influences on Romantic Couples’ Cancer-Related Behaviors During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocol for a Longitudinal Online Study of Dyads and Cancer Survivors

Measuring Relationship Influences on Romantic Couples’ Cancer-Related Behaviors During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocol for a Longitudinal Online Study of Dyads and Cancer Survivors

Therefore, we aimed to recruit cancer survivors and underrepresented populations. Dyadic research, in which both members of a dyad (eg, a romantic couple) are assessed on the same or similar measures, is an important methodology that allows for a better understanding of how individuals in a relationship influence one another’s health. Dyadic methods can estimate the degree of correspondence (ie, similarity) in health behaviors and behavioral correlates between 2 members of a dyad.

Testing Behavioral Messages to Increase Recruitment to Health Research When Embedded Within Social Media Campaigns on Twitter: Web-Based Experimental Study

Testing Behavioral Messages to Increase Recruitment to Health Research When Embedded Within Social Media Campaigns on Twitter: Web-Based Experimental Study

In addition, compared to paid panels, using paid social media advertisements to recruit research participants has been shown to cost less [11,12] and be more time-efficient [13,14]. Furthermore, it is also suggested that social media can reach larger pools of participants and access hard-to-reach populations [15].

Bot or Not? Detecting and Managing Participant Deception When Conducting Digital Research Remotely: Case Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Bot or Not? Detecting and Managing Participant Deception When Conducting Digital Research Remotely: Case Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial

One of the difficulties during this process was balancing the need to recruit large numbers of participants to detect small but meaningful effects while avoiding encouraging many attempts at fraud by making incentives too prominent. We were also mindful of trying to recruit a representative sample while also ensuring that participants were genuine.

Internet-Based Recruitment and Retention of Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Study

Internet-Based Recruitment and Retention of Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Cross-Sectional Study

Therefore, in this repeated-measures descriptive study, we aimed to determine whether internet-based recruitment through multiple social media platforms (eg, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit), Research Match (a clinical research platform), and cooperation with community partnerships—College Diabetes Network (CDN) and Beyond Type 1 would serve as an effective way to recruit a representative sample of young adults aged 18-25 years with T1 D.

Identifying the Most Effective Recruitment Strategy Using Financial Reimbursements for a Web-Based Peer Network Study With Young People Aged 16-18 Years: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Identifying the Most Effective Recruitment Strategy Using Financial Reimbursements for a Web-Based Peer Network Study With Young People Aged 16-18 Years: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

More broadly, web-based mechanisms are increasingly being used to recruit young people, as researchers have found web-based studies can effectively reach many young people, including those in more marginalized groups such as young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, or other (LGBTQA+) [17,18].

Digital Global Recruitment for Women’s Health Research: Cross-sectional Study

Digital Global Recruitment for Women’s Health Research: Cross-sectional Study

In particular, the use of boosted Facebook posts for recruitment to health research is increasing in popularity, and recent studies have examined their use to recruit for clinical trials [8,9] and hard-to-reach populations [10]. Hard-to-reach populations include those who are traditionally underrepresented in research studies, such as people from racial/ethnic minorities [11] and rural populations [12].
