Strategies to Improve Recruitment of People with Dementia to Research Studies

This article highlights the challenges to recruiting people with dementia to studies and identifies strategies that nurses, in particular nurse researchers, can use for overcoming them. Although the focus is on the role of nurses, much of the discussion can apply to other health professionals. Recruitment challenges discussed include a lack of awareness about research participation opportunities and a suitable study partner. Nurses can play a valuable part by personalizing the recruitment experience and being responsive to participants' needs and situation.
