A theory-based problem-solving approach to recruitment challenges in a large randomized field trial.
Despite best-laid plans, recruitment problems arise in large field trials. Research teams must work hard on problem solving and push comfort zones to sustain recruitment and accrual levels. A systematic theory-based problem-solving approach helped us look deeply for challenges and implement strategies continuously to sustain accrual to our target enrollment.
