Sociodemographic predictors of successful screening and subsequent randomization in a digital health hypertension intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Clinical trials often enroll nonrepresentative participant samples, limiting generalizability of trial findings. The current analysis explores the influences of remote recruitment and screening protocols on participation in a digital health intervention (DHI) to promote the evidence-based Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern.

Methods

Nourish was a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of a DHI to an attention control arm among US adults with hypertension. Participants were recruited using digital approaches; eligible individuals completed several screening steps. We examined associations between sociodemographics and mobile technology use and completion of each screening step and compared those characteristics
