“…Proactive measures were detailed to reduce barriers related to enrollment procedures. On the website of a study investigating the efficacy of a smartphone-based program on preventing substance use among Hispanic adolescents between 12 and 15 years of age, Schwinn et al provided informational videos in both Spanish and English for the parents of potential participants [53 ▪ ]. Conversely, Cook et al noted that their own enrollment processes may have been overly burdensome [44 ▪ ].…”

Purpose of reviewThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic resulted in cataclysmic changes to the research enterprise, causing a forced shutdown or rapid pivot to virtual methods. Adapting studies to the virtual environment also impacted recruitment and retention strategies. This review elucidated challenges and offered pragmatic recommendations, drawing on published literature and our prior work, to assist researchers in re-evaluating and amending best-practice techniques to bolster inclusive recruitment and study engagement of people using substances, particularly for virtual interviews or focus groups. Recent findingsAmeliorating recruitment strategies and research protocols to better fit virtual methods of recruitment and study administration required careful consideration of ethical and logistical implications. Many procedures to increase enrollment of underrepresented populations, such as building mutually beneficial and respectful community partnerships, recruiting via social media, or providing ambulatory research centers, existed prior to this specific pandemic. However, unprecedented disruptions in resources needed to participate in virtual interviews or focus groups, privacy concerns, and possible deteriorating trust in research necessitated continued adaptation and expansion of these strategies.
