Use of the chronic illness research recruitment taxonomy to evaluate recruitment strategies in an eHealth feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic illness research has many challenges making research recruitment difficult. Despite reports of facilitators and barriers to research recruitment challenges remain. The reporting of research strategies and their impact on recruitment and subsequent randomised control trials is not sufficient. A newly developed chronic illness research recruitment taxonomy (CIRRT) details factors and elements observed to impact recruitment around the components of Project, People, and Place.
