title: Recruitment of Asians and Pacific Islanders with Type 2 Diabetes into a Clinical Research Trial of Enhancing Diabetes Self-Management.
abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate strategies and barriers to recruiting Asians and Pacific Islanders (API) with type 2 diabetes, into clinical trials. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were utilized to analyze reasons for non-participation. A "talk story" interview method was employed to recruit participants and uncover reasons for non-participation. A total of 1891 potential participants were identified and 340 declined participation. Eighty who declined were randomly selected to provide their reasons for non-participation. Socioeconomic issues faced by this population, such as earning wages to meet basic needs and care giving took precedence over altruistic participation in research.
