African American Caregivers

“Testing Tele-Savvy” was a three-arm randomized controlled trial that recruited participants from four National Institute on Aging (NIA)–funded Alzheimer’s Disease Centers with Emory University serving as the coordinating center. The enrollment process involved each center providing a list of eligible caregivers to the coordinating center to consent. Initially, the site proposed to recruit primarily African American caregivers generated a significant amount of referrals to the coordinating center, but a gap occurred in translating them into enrolled participants. To increase the enrollment rate, a “Handshake Protocol” was established, which included a warm handoff approach. During preset phone calls each week, the research site coordinator introduced potential participants to a culturally congruent co-investigator from the coordinating center who then completed the consent process. Within the first month of implementation, the team was 97% effective in meeting its goals. This protocol is an example of a successful, innovative approach to enrolling minority participants in multi-site clinical trials.

The author is an African American neonatologist who has worked in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for the past twenty years. Despite belief systems being unique and diverse, he believes they serve an important role in society, especially in the context of NICU care. In this chapter, the author attempts to describe what he considers to be some salient points about being a provider in the NICU and the role that a family’s belief system plays in critical and end-of-life care for their newborn. He tries to emphasize how belief systems are complex and personal.
