UCLA researchers find that they can electronically recruit patients for biomedical research at rates up to 40 times higher than the traditional method of patient portal messages by embedding study recruitment into the pre-appointment preCheck-in page.
While patient portal messages are increasingly used to recruit patients for research studies, this method typically results in study enrollment rates of 1-8%. In addition, this method of study recruitment has historically led to underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities in biomedical research.The researchers pioneered a new method of study recruitment called preCheck-in recruitment.
The researchers sent post-appointment surveys to 93 of these patients, and 45 completed it for a 48% completion rate. The findings are limited by inclusion of only patients with an active portal who had upcoming appointments with UCLA primary care physicians, the lack of a control group, and a small sample size.PreCheck-in recruitment may increase research study participation and contribute to more equitable socio-demographic representation in biomedical research.
