Recruiting Persons With Dementia: A Systematic Review of Facilitators, Barriers, and Strategies.

ABSTRACT: Study recruitment of persons with dementia is challenging. We aimed to assess facilitators, barriers, and strategies to identify and approach persons with dementia for recruitment to dementia care studies. We systematically searched MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and other sources (ORRCA [Online Resource for Research in Clinical triAls]; pertinent evidence syntheses; citation searching) and narratively summarised the results (PROSPERO CRD42022342600).

The highest number of participants were recruited by study information in electronic and print formats, as well as by networking and collaboration. Advertisem
