Diversifying Recruitment Registries: Considering Neighborhood Health Metrics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Disparities in clinical research participation perpetuate broader health disparities. Recruitment registries are novel tools to address known challenges in accrual to clinical research. Registries may accelerate accrual, but the utility of these tools to improve generalizability is unclear.

Objective

To examine the diversity of a local on-line recruitment registry using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a publicly available metric of neighborhood disadvantage.

Design

Retrospective analysis.

Setting

Data were collected in the University of California Irvine Consent-to-Contact Registry.
