“…33 Interventions are often demanding and require sustained interest and time; if participants already experience many demands and stressors in their daily lives, the intervention may cause further distress and lead to withdrawal. 32 Although white participants and higher health literate participants were more likely to provide feedback than non-white participants and lower literate participants, respectively, user feedback did not differ on any other characteristic, including education.…”

“…We could not reach 20 participants at follow-up; therefore, not everyone who experienced the intervention provided feedback on their experience. The difficulty with contacting these participants is likely due to the common challenge of retention in intervention trials 32 ; furthermore, recruiting participants from FQHCs may have made retention more difficult. 33 Interventions are often demanding and require sustained interest and time; if participants already experience many demands and stressors in their daily lives, the intervention may cause further distress and lead to withdrawal.…”

“…Cultural and languagebarriers have often been implicated as reason for low recruitment and poor retention of cancer participants (Ford et al, 2008;Gul and Ali, 2010;Symonds et al, 2012 our Qigong trial, language was not the major barrier but cultural issues may well be a key contributor to the attrition rate as we observed a pattern in the different ethnic groups. A recent study by Hui and colleagues (2012) showed that high cancer patients attrition were associated with various patient characteristics and a high baseline symptom burden such as dyspnea (OR, 1.06; p=0.01), fatigue (OR, 1.08; p=0.01), Hispanic race (OR, 1.87; p=0.002), higher level of education (p=0.02), longer study duration (p=0.01), and outpatient studies (p=0.05).…”

“…Low recruitment rates and retention are serious concerns in the scientific world, since they may affect the validity of the observed results 25,26 . Having an organized and well established strategy of recruitment and retention might be possible ways to keep a satisfactory number of participants enrolled.…”

“…Rigid eligibility criteria usually tend to be major problems for the development of any study, since researchers tend to overestimate the number of participants, according to their characteristics and availability 25 . In the present study, the exclusion of 13% of the potential volunteers due to the cognitive deficits, other disabling health problems, bilateral stroke, or aphasia, which are commonly observed in stroke survivors, could reduce the external validity of the present findings.…”
