This study assessed recruitment rates and discussed key insights gleaned from recruitment for a study testing an in-home smart health intervention for dementia caregivers. The investigators found that privacy concerns, lack of interest, and perceived burden of study procedures were all barriers to recruitment. The paper emphasizes the need for research to explore effective methods to recruit dementia caregivers to technology-based intervention studies.
