Recruitment of Older Adults With Dementia for Research: An Integrative Review.

Recruitment of persons with dementia into research studies is essential to provide evidence for effective care and treatment. However, recruitment is known to be difficult for this population. The current integrative review was undertaken to synthesize evidence surrounding best practices for recruiting older adults with dementia into research. Fourteen studies were identified that examined recruitment strategies for persons with cognitive impairment over a 10-year time period. Most studies were retrospective and descriptive. Studies revealed three facilitators and three barriers for recruitment. Facilitators included community partnerships and trust, incentives, and use of multiple recruitment methods. Barriers included non-targeted recruitment methods, gatekeepers, and mistrust. Further studies, including randomized controlled trials, are needed to determine specific strategies that yield effective recruitment. Theoretically based recruitment strategies need to be defined and tested and the measures of recruitment efforts standardized to compare effectiveness and build a science of recruitment.
