Development of a web platform to advance data-driven recruitment for ADRD research.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To meet increasing investments in research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD), investigators must efficiently recruit diverse and representative participant samples. To address this challenge, the Vanderbilt Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) sought to develop an integrated digital research infrastructure with a web-based platform.

Methods

In Fall 2021, we partnered with collaborators and developed the Participant Information Tracking and Coordinating Hub (PITCH). PITCH was developed with a novel iterative user-centered design, allowing for continuous platform development and enhancement.

Results

With PITCH we evaluate community-based recruitment strategies, monitor participant progression through the study enrollment pipelin
