In this brief report, the author shares les­sons from Loretta Jones, MA and William Jenkins, PhD, two elders who shaped her research with communities that occupy intersecting marginalized categories. These lessons were echoed and amplified by the community panelists at the RCMAR workshop on recruitment and retention of diverse elders. They include centering the priorities of communities themselves, help­ing community members envision the types of positive transformations that research can help bring about, engaging and valuing the contributions of diverse sectors of the com­munity, and recognizing the desire of aging individuals and communities to leave a leg­acy. Because heath care, research, and gov­ernmental institutions have engendered so much mistrust in racial/ethnic minority com­munities, researchers must learn first the particular histories and experience of the populations they intend to study. Equipped with this knowledge, cultural humility, and a willingness to listen, researchers can then use these strategies to earn the trust neces­sary for successful recruitment and retention in research.

BACKGROUND Racial/ethnic minority groups are underrepresented in health research, contributing to persistent health disparities in the nation. Identifying effective recruitment and retention strategies among minority groups and their subpopulations is an important research agenda. With the ubiquitous use of the Internet now, web-based intervention approaches are increasingly popular. It is not completely clear which recruitment and retention strategies have been successful in web-based intervention trials targeting racial/ethnic minorities. OBJECTIVE 1) To describe lessons learned in recruiting and retaining one of the understudied ethnic minority women—Korean American—enrolled in a web-based intervention trial and 2) to compare our findings to the strategies reported in relevant published web-based intervention trials. METHODS Multiple sources of data were used to address the objectives of this study including study team’s meeting minutes, participant tracking and contact log, survey reports, and post-intervention interviews. Additionally, an electronic search involving two databases (PubMed and Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature) was done to identify published studies using web-based interventions. Qualitative analysis was then performed to identify common themes addressing recruitment and retention strategies across the trials using web-based intervention modalities. RESULTS A total of nine categories of recruitment and retention strategies emerged: authentic care; accommodation of time, place, and transportation; financial incentives; diversity among study team; multiple, yet standardized modes of communication; mobilizing existing community relationships with efforts to build trust; prioritizing features of web-based intervention; combined use of online and direct recruitment; and self-directed online intervention with human support. While all of the studies included in the analysis combined multiple strategies, prioritizing features of web-based intervention or use of human support were particularly relevant to promoting recruitment and retention of racial/ethnic minorities for web-based intervention trials. CONCLUSIONS Growing prevalence of Internet usage among racial/ethnic minority populations represents an excellent opportunity to design and deliver intervention programs via the Internet. Future research should explore and compare successful recruitment and retention methods between race or ethnic groups for web-based intervention.
