Recruitment and retention of African American and Latino preadolescent females into a longitudinal biobehavioral study.
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAddressing recruitment challenges faced by researchers when the intended participants are young individuals from minority communities is crucial to prevent increases in study costs, prolonged length of the study, and loss of generalizability that may occur due to the resulting higher attrition rates. This article focuses on understanding the differences in census-tract level income, education, and socioeconomic status of young Latina and African American female participants and non-participants during the first 26 months of recruitment (June 2006-August 2008) in a longitudinal biobehavioral study.
designThe Transitions Study examines the psychological and physiological determinants influencing the decrease in physical activity during puberty among Latina and African American girls aged 8 to 11 years within the greater Los Angeles area. Recruitment and retention through five main steps in the process were examined: telephone contact, telephone screening, consent, clinical screening, and baseline overnight visit.
resultsAs of August 2008, the recruitment pool consisted of 110 African Americans (17.8%) and 373 Latinas (60.4%); of these, only 40 Latinas and 11 African American girls completed the final step into the study. African Americans were less willing to provide their phone numbers, but more likely to be reached at initial phone contact than Latino families.
conclusionsUnderstanding the heterogeneity within minority populations, population characteristics, through careful and timely analyses, could be used to adjust recruitment and retention strategies in a study involving minority youth.
