Catchup – Salon – Recruiting to Research Studies
August 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A weekly gathering to discuss careers and research topics, inspired by 17th and 18th century salons from Paris, with a modern twist. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers and group chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire and educate.
In this session we talk about Recruiting to Research Studies.
Recruiting participants for dementia research studies is a critical step in advancing our understanding and treatment of the condition. Effective recruitment strategies are essential to ensure a diverse and representative sample of participants. This often involves collaboration with healthcare providers, utilisation of registries, and outreach to communities through various media. So where do you start? What can you do when recruitment simply fails? How do PhD students find people for their studies? Let’s get into it in the Salon, here from our speakers and get your input.
