Study Recruitment

Abstract Clinical research involving participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) presents challenges to recruitment that may be further compounded by concerns when delivering a behavioral intervention via the Internet. The purpose of this talk is to describe recruitment adaptations for an Internet-delivered behavioral intervention study with older adults living with MCI and insomnia. Over the course of study recruitment, unforeseen barriers to recruitment were discovered, including fewer older adults with MCI endorsing sleep concerns than expected. The most substantive changes made to improve clinical recruitment were related to eligibility criteria, yielding 50% of the overall sample. Anticipated concerns of older adults with MCI using technology or accessing the Internet were not significant barriers to recruitment. Study findings support Internet-delivered intervention use in this population, which in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, presents a potentially efficient and effective method for recruiting and delivering behavioral interventions in this difficult-to-enroll population.

African American Adults

Across the breadth of acquired neurogenic communication disorders, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may go undetected, underreported, and untreated. In addition to stigma and distrust of healthcare systems, other barriers contribute to decreased identification, healthcare access, and service utilization for Hispanic and African American adults with MCI. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have significant roles in prevention, education, management, and support of older adults, the population must susceptible to MCI.
