Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Dementia research recruitment faces challenges, especially with underrepresented groups like Latin Americans.
  • Traditional strategies often fail to engage diverse populations effectively.
  • The Instituto Peruano de Neurociencias in Lima, Peru, explored culturally tailored methods for participant recruitment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe culturally tailored recruitment strategies used in Lima, Peru.
  • To quantify recruitment sources for the ReD-Lat study.
  • To enhance participant recruitment for dementia research in Latin America.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed recruitment strategies from January 2023 to December 2024 for the ReD-Lat study.
  • Recruitment channels included flyers, social media (in Spanish), word-of-mouth, and professional referrals.
  • Participant interest and enrollment sources were recorded and categorized.

Main Results:

  • A total of 564 individuals expressed interest, with 69% (391) enrolled in the ReD-Lat study.
  • Professional referrals and word-of-mouth showed high success rates.
  • Success rates varied across different recruitment sources (detailed in Table 1).

Conclusions:

  • Culturally tailored recruitment, especially professional referrals and word-of-mouth, proved highly effective.
  • Leveraging community trust and professional networks is crucial for dementia research recruitment.
  • These strategies are important for improving recruitment in underrepresented populations.
