A comparison between print vs. internet methods for a clinical trial recruitment--a pan European OCD study
Abstract
Recruitment for clinical studies presents a serious challenge in terms of meeting both time and budget constraints. The internet offers a potentially powerful means for quick and effective recruitment-either as an add-on or as alternative to traditional methods. We developed a Google search based solution which enhances patient recruitment. Recruitment via internet was associated with greater exposure to relevant applicants and better response to treatment as compared to traditional printed ads.
