Strategies for Successful Recruitment and Retention of Parents in Pediatric Psychosocial eHealth Interventions: A Qualitative Study in Pediatric Oncology.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2020. 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
objectivePsychosocial intervention studies with parents often have difficulty with regard to participant recruitment, retention, and engagement. Prior to conducting a pilot test of the Electronic Surviving Cancer Competently Intervention Program (eSCCIP), a psychosocial eHealth intervention for parents of children with cancer, a qualitative study was designed to preemptively generate strategies to address potential difficulties in these domains.
methodsTwo focus groups and three semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of children with cancer. Qualitative data were analyzed using the principles of thematic and content analysis. Themes were generated to describe results and inform the development of concrete recruitment, retention, and engagement strategies to be utilized in future intervention trials.
resultsFive themes emerged specific to recruitment, and three themes emerged related to retention and engagement. Parents highlighted a number of important potential recruitment, retention, and engagement strategies, including the importance of flexibility, ease of access and use, intervention timing, and pathways to follow-up care. Themes were linked to actionable recruitment, retention, and engagement strategies which can be utilized in future studies.
conclusionResults from the current study will be utilized when designing future eSCCIP intervention trials and will also be of use to the broader field of psychosocial eHealth intervention research in pediatric psychology. This study also underscores the importance of working with parent stakeholders at all phases of study design and implementation.
