Glaucoma leads to millions of cases of visual impairment and blindness around the world. Its susceptibility is shaped by both environmental and genetic risk factors. Although over 120 risk loci have been identified for glaucoma, a large portion of its heritability is still unexplained. Here we describe the foundation of the Genetics of GLaucoma Evaluation in the AMish (GGLEAM) study to investigate the genetic architecture of glaucoma in the Ohio Amish, which exhibits lower genetic and environmental heterogeneity compared to the general population. To date, we have enrolled 81 Amish individuals in our study from Holmes County, Ohio. As a part of our enrollment process, 62 GGLEAM study participants (42 glaucoma-affected and 20 unaffected individuals) received comprehensive eye examinations and glaucoma evaluations. Using the data from the Anabaptist Genealogy Database, we found that 80 of the GGLEAM study participants were related to one another through a large, multigenerational pedigree containing 1586 people. We plan to integrate the health and kinship data obtained for the GGLEAM study to interrogate glaucoma genetics and pathophysiology in this unique population.

Background: Enrollment into acute ischemic stroke (AIS) trials is usually limited to weekday working hours. At our center, the majority of patients (64%) that receive tPA arrive after-hours. As a result, a large portion of eligible patients do not receive the opportunity to participate in these trials, hence enrollment rate suffers. Objectives: Demonstrate ongoing experience regarding feasibility and implementation of a 24/7 enrollment plan for an international AIS trial. Compare differences in patients’ characteristics enrolled during working hours ( WH - Mon-Fri 07:00-17:00) vs. after hours+weekend ( AH ). Methods: Data obtained from an on-going, multi-center, randomized, time-sensitive, tPA-adjunctive clinical trial (ARTSS-2; NCT01464788) Centers capable of doing so, implemented an on-call system for coordinators to respond AH. AH enrollment includes a coordinated effort to reduce time and meet the time challenges of screening, consent, randomization and starting study drug before the end of tPA infusion. The coordinator arrives at the ED to assist in-house physician with study procedures. We conducted descriptive analyses that explore differences between WH vs. AH . Results: As of 08/14, a total of 240 patients were eligible of which 75 were enrolled. Of these, 32 (43%) were enrolled AH at a total of 6 sites. 15 of 32 AH patients were enrolled at non-coordinating centers. AH patients were younger and more likely to be male (Table 1). Compared to WH, AH enrollment did not delay tPA initiation, time to website randomization, or initiation of study drug. No signal of increased harm or trial protocol deviations was evident between the two groups. Conclusion: 24/7 clinical trial enrollment is safe and feasible in a multicenter, international thrombolysis trial. We increased recruitment by 75% with no delays in randomization or initiation of study treatment. Efforts to provide 24/7 coverage should be implemented to improve trial recruitment rates.

Enrollment Process

Enrolling in publicly funded early childhood education involves searching for programs, applying, verifying eligibility, and registering with the program. Many families do not complete this process, despite demonstrated interest. In this study, we assessed support for families as they verify eligibility as a means for increasing enrollment completion rates. Working with district administrators, we randomly assigned families to receive either (a) the district’s usual, modest communications; (b) the usual communications plus weekly text message reminders with a formal tone; or (c) the usual communications plus weekly personalized, friendly text message reminders. Text message reminders increased verification rates by seven percentage points (regardless of tone), and personalized messages increased enrollment rates for some groups. Exchanges between parents and administrators revealed the obstacles parents confronted.

Between 1981 and 1990, Chile began to implement an education reform based on school choice and a financing system through vouchers. In theory, the system ensures complete freedom of choice of school by families. This article attempts to identify the existence of factors that conditioned the enrollment process in different types of schools existing nowadays in the Chilean educational system, the largest quasi-market of Latin America. Results show a social stratification and separation by schools and indicate how geographical distance and social composition are the most critical factors for families when choosing a school.

Background The proliferation of technology galvanizes providers, researchers, and entrepreneurs to revolutionize health care and care delivery with diverse audiences. Digital health provides promise in improving health outcomes; however, the pace of technology requires rapid research to remain relevant in the marketplace. User experience (UX) research provides critical information about patient/client preferences while rigorous research trials demonstrate digital health efficacy. Despite the need for such research, the recruitment and enrollment process for digital health research remains time consuming and expensive, particularly when engaging underrepresented populations. Developed in the Colorado School of Public Health, the mHealth Impact Registry is a newly launched platform designed for rapid and responsive recruitment of participants for digital health research studies. While the use of registries in research is robust, the application in digital health research is quite limited. Objective This poster illustrates the development and testing of the mHealth Impact Registry’s Web-based platform, health status survey, mobile app, and participant database to reach underrepresented populations in digital health research. Methods Formative methods used a user centered approach to document user preferences for Registry design followed by iterative testing to ensure usability and navigability. Results End-user feedback was captured from multiple stakeholder groups (ie, Patient and Family Research Advisory Panel and mHealth Community Advisory Board) to refine recruitment strategy (ie, letters, video development). A health status survey was developed in both English and Spanish using the online software (ie, Qualtrics) that informs the back-end database. A detailed requirements document outlined technical and functional requirements for the mobile app (ie, iOS and Android) and Web-based platform (ie, Wordpress and Amazon Web Services). Conclusions Due to the need for rapid, rigorous, and inclusive research in digital health, a registry containing a pool of diverse participants would not only accelerate the recruitment and enrollment process but would also help to improve the reach and engagement of digital health solutions for underrepresented populations. The mHealth Impact Registry would house diverse participants, supporting quick enrollment and active participation in studies for which they are eligible. Improving the accessibility of participants and the speed of enrollment has promise in ensuring digital health solutions are relevant upon dissemination and commercialization.

e14026 Background: Due to eligibility criteria, most, if not all, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exclude patients at the outset, before randomization. Understanding which patients are excluded is important to evaluate the external validity of the results. The proportion of trials that report the entire flow diagram of patient enrollment, in accordance with the CONSORT 2010 statement, is unknown. Failure to do so makes it more difficult to discuss the generalizability of the trial findings. Methods: We performed the systematic retrieval and analysis of all phases II and III RCTs published in paper form between 2013 and 2015, in four high impact factor journals, in the field of clinical oncology. Our main objective was to determine the proportion of trials that report the number of patients assessed for eligibility before randomization. We further aimed to identify the variables that affect this reporting as well as the reasons for patient exclusion, to calculate the recruitment fraction and the number needed to screen and to determine the proportion of trials that include a discussion on the generalizability of the trial findings. Results: 462 RCTs were reviewed. Among them, 426 (92.2%) included the flow diagram in the article and 224 (48.5%) reported the number of patients assessed for eligibility. This proportion varied significantly between the journals studied, but it did not increase over time. A total of 116 (25.1%) included a discussion of generalizability. Among the trials that reported the entire enrollment process, the reason for patient exclusion could not be found in 50 (22.3%). Conclusions: There is still room for improvement in the reporting of the determinants of external validity in clinical oncology RCTs. Increasing the reporting of the enrollment process could help clinicians and health policy makers establish to whom the results of a trial apply.
