“…In some studies, it was difficult to discern whether goals for recruitment and retention had been set or met because this information was not always reported. Closely related constructs to retention-such as measures of participation or engagement [70] (i.e., attendance rates at intervention sessions)-were reported less frequently. When reported these rates tended to be much lower than overall study retention; that is, participants had lower rates of attending all intervention sessions but did complete follow-up assessments.…”

The purposes of this review are to (1) describe recruitment and retention strategies for physical activity interventions focusing on underserved populations and (2) identify successful strategies which show the most promise for "best practices" recommendations to guide future research. The method used was systematic review. Data on recruitment and retention strategies were abstracted and analyzed according to participant characteristics, types of strategies used, and effectiveness using an ecological framework. Thirty-eight studies were identified. Populations included African American (n=25), Hispanic (n=8), or Asian (n=3) groups. Successful recruitment strategies consisted of partnering with respected community stakeholders and organizations, well-trained study staff ethnically, linguistically, and culturally matched to the population of interest, and use of multiple advertising channels. Successful retention strategies included efficient administrative tracking of participants, persistence, skillful teamwork, and demonstrating a positive, caring attitude towards participants. Promising recruitment and retention strategies correspond to all levels of ecological influence: individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal.

“…Despite this reality, research aimed at reducing obesity and improving physical activity (PA) and eating patterns in underserved communities has been limited [6]. Furthermore, most obesity control efforts have been targeted to individuals, with limited engagement, effectiveness and sustainability, particularly among ethnic minority populations [7][8][9].…”

“…Organizational push strategies have shown promise in engaging 'hard to reach' populations at highest risk of sedentariness and poor nutrition [13][14][15][16][17]. However, detailed process evaluations of these interventions are rarely published, making variability in outcomes difficult to interpret [8,9]. According to Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory, the success of implementation depends on factors at the organization level, characteristics of change agents within the organization, the nature of the 'innovation' and the larger context in which organizations are nested [18].…”

Integrating organizationally targeted wellness strategies into the routine conduct of business has shown promise in engaging captive audiences at highest risk of obesity and obesity-related health consequences. This paper presents a process evaluation of the implementation of the University of California, Los Angeles, Working Out Regularly Keeps Individuals Nurtured and Going (WORKING) pilot study. WORKING focuses on integrating physical activity and nutrition practices into workplace routine during non-discretionary paid work time. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the quality of implementation and to understand factors that facilitated or hindered organizations' full uptake of the intervention. Fifteen worksites were randomly assigned to an intervention condition. Qualitative data were gathered through routine site visits and informant interviews conducted throughout each worksite's intervention period. Worksites were classified into one of four implementation success categories based on their level of adoption and maintenance of core intervention strategies. Six key factors emerged that were related to implementation success: site layout and social climate, wellness infrastructure, number and influence of Program Champions, leadership involvement, site innovation and creativity. This pilot study has informed the conduct of WORKING II; a cluster randomized controlled trial aimed at enrolling 60-70 worksites in Los Angeles County.

Objective To predict retention of African American women 6 months after initiating a community walking program. Methods Demographics, health status, cancer-related health behaviors, and network membership data from baseline wellness questionnaires of 1322 African American women participating in the walking program were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models. Results Seventy-eight percent (n=1032) of African American women were retained at 6 months. DSN membership was the primary predictor of retention. Conclusions Women affiliated with our comprehensive network, which provides ongoing cancer awareness, screening, and prevention programs to reduce cancer health disparities, were more likely to accomplish the first major milestone of the program.
