Recruitment and Retention Strategies for Underrepresented Populations and Adults With Arthritis in Behavioral Interventions: A Scoping Review. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore effective methods for recruiting and retaining underrepresented groups, particularly those with arthritis or fibromyalgia, in exercise and chronic disease management programs.
  • Researchers reviewed 2,800 articles, ultimately including 43 studies that emphasized physical activity interventions targeting diverse populations like African American and Hispanic groups.
  • Key recruitment strategies identified included community-matched team members, targeted outreach, and incentives, highlighting the need for comprehensive approaches to improve participation in health programs.

Article Abstract

Objective: To identify strategies used to recruit and retain underrepresented populations and populations with arthritis or fibromyalgia (FM) into behavioral programs targeting exercise, physical activity, or chronic disease self management.

Methods: Five bibliographic databases were searched for articles published between January 2000 and May 2022. The search focused on strategies and best practices for recruiting and retaining underrepresented populations or populations with arthritis or FM into disease self-management or physical activity/exercise programs. Abstracts and full-text articles were screened for inclusion by 2 independent reviewers, and 2 reviewers extracted data from included articles.

Results: Of the 2,800 articles, a total of 43 publications (31 interventions, 8 reviews, 4 qualitative/descriptive studies) met criteria and were included. The majority of studies focused on physical activity/exercise (n = 36) and targeted African American (n = 17), Hispanic (n = 9), or arthritis populations (n = 7). Recruitment strategies that were frequently used included having race- or community-matched team members, flyers and information sessions in areas frequented by the population, targeted emails/mailings, and word of mouth referrals. Retention strategies used included having race- or community-matched team members, incentives, being flexible, and facilitating attendance. Most studies used multiple recruitment and retention strategies.

Conclusion: This scoping review highlights the importance of a multifaceted recruitment and retention plan for underrepresented populations and populations with arthritis or FM in behavioral intervention programs targeting exercise, physical activity, or chronic disease self management. Additional research is needed to better understand the individual effects of different strategies and the costs associated with the various recruitment/retention methods in underrepresented populations and populations with arthritis.
