Effectiveness of a Local Recruitment Registry in Older Adults in Southern California

This analysis tested the effectiveness of the University of California, Irvine Consent-to-Contact registry. Researchers quantified the total number of referrals and the proportion of referrals leading to subsequent enrollment in a clinical research study. Data show that registrant research attitudes were positively associated with the odds of a successful first referral in non-invasive longitudinal studies, emphasizing the potential effectiveness of recruitment registries and of the research attitudes questionnaire to predict referral outcomes to higher burden clinical research.
