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.

Keywords: Clinical trials; Internet; Online recruitment; Recruitment.
