Description

Many studies do not achieve their goal for participant enrollment (Mapstone, Elbourne, & Roberts, 2002).

• Longitudinal studies with teen drivers are rare, in part due to the difficulty with recruitment and attrition as well as necessarily strict inclusion criteria (Lee et al., 2011; McCartt, Farmer, 7 Jenness, 2010).• The sources used for recruitment can be a determining factor in the effectiveness of the overall enrollment rates.

• A community-based randomized controlled trial required recruitment of a large number of participants, 512 parent-teen dyads, in a short period of time. This is a post-hoc analysis of the most effective forms of recruitment we found for this study.
