Enhancing Participation in Alzheimer's Research: A Comparative Study of Community Health Worker -Led and Digital Recruitment Strategies in Hispanic/Latino Communities.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDigital recruitment can expand geographical reach and reduce recruitment timelines. Community health worker (CHW)-led recruitment has shown to build trust, increase knowledge, and link patients to healthcare services and research participation. However, few studies quantify how recruitment strategies relate to research outcomes.
objectiveTo explore associations between recruitment strategies and participant demographics and memory disorder knowledge using a survey with a sample of Hispanic/Latino participants.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional comparative analysis of recruitment and survey responses in a survey study targeting U.S. Hispanic/Latino individuals using both digital and CHW-led recruitment strategies. We compare participant demographics and knowledge of memory disorders using chi-squared tests for categorical variables and t-tests for continuous variables.
resultsWe recruited 834 participants across both strategies. Recruitment strategy was associated with educational background, basic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) knowledge, and misconceptions. In the CHW-recruited group, a higher proportion had less than a high school diploma (29.41% vs. 5.13% in the digital group (p < .001). CHW-recruited participants also scored lower on the Basic Knowledge of AD survey (19.89 vs. 21.85, p < 0.001) and held more misconceptions, such as believing AD is a normal part of aging (M = 2.12, SD = 1.04, p < .001).
conclusionsFindings from this study suggest that CHW-led recruitment might be more effective at engaging a greater proportion of individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups, such as those of Hispanic/Latino heritage reporting lower educational attainment, and Spanish-language preference, compared to digital-led recruitment. These insights underscore the importance of diversifying recruitment strategies to meet the specific needs of underrepresented demographic groups and can inform experimental research to strengthen recruitment science.
