  • Patient Responses to Research Recruitment and Follow-Up Surveys
    Khidir et al. BMC Medical Research Methodology (2016) 16:10 DOI 10.1186/s12874-016-0109-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Patient responses to research recruitment and follow-up surveys: findings from a diverse multicultural health care setting in Qatar Amal Khidir1,2*, Humna Asad3,12, Huda Abdelrahim4, Maha Elnashar4, Amal Killawi5,13, Maya Hammoud6, Abdul Latif Al-Khal7, Pascale Haddad8,14 and Michael D. Fetters9,10,11 Abstract Background: Health care researchers working in the Arabian Gulf need information on how to optimize recruitment and retention of study participants in extremely culturally diverse settings. Implemented in Doha, Qatar in 2012 with 4 language groups, namely Arabic, English, Hindi, and Urdu, this research documents persons’ responses to recruitment, consent, follow-up, and reminder procedures during psychometric testing of the Multicultural Assessment Instrument (MAI), a novel self- or interviewer-administered survey. Methods: Bilingual research assistants recruited adults in outpatient clinics by approaching persons in particular who appeared to be from a target language group. Participants completed the MAI, a second acculturation instrument used for content-validity assessment, and a demographics questionnaire. Participants were asked to take the MAI again in 2–3 weeks, in person or by post, to assess test-retest reliability. Recruitment data were analyzed by using nonparametric statistics. Results: Of 1503 persons approached during recruitment, 400 enrolled (27 %)—100 per language group. The enrollment rates in the language groups were: Arabic-32 %; English-33 %; Hindi-18 %; Urdu-30 %. The groups varied somewhat in their preferences regarding consent procedure, follow-up survey administration, contact mode for follow-up reminders, and disclosure of personal mailing address (for postal follow-up).
