Recruitment and Retention of Older Adults in Aging Research
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 11/06/08

Mody L et al. - Older adults continue to be underrepresented in clinical research despite their burgeoning population in the United States and worldwide. Major barriers to recruitment of older adults in aging research relate to their substantial health problems, social and cultural barriers, and potentially impaired capacity to provide informed consent. Key approaches include early in-depth planning; minimizing exclusion criteria; securing cooperation from all interested parties; using advisory boards, timely screening, identification, and approach of eligible patients; carefully reviewing the benefit:risk ratio to be sure it is appropriate; and employing strategies to ensure successful retention across the continuum of care.
