iCare Research believes in a multi-strategic approach to patient recruitment. We have been very successful with local television advertising. In addition, we recruit participants from our database and participate in local community outreach events such as: health fairs; local university events; health clubs; physician referrals; online recruitment on our website; social networking; blast emails; print advertising; radio; and word of mouth referrals.
We believe retention begins at the very beginning of the process with subjects having a full understanding of the clinical trial requirements. An open door communication between subject, coordinator and investigator paves the way for good retention.
