Recruitment

IRB approval must be obtained before any recruitment or screening can take place.

The following elements must be considered when developing recruitment strategies:

• purposes of the research
• research environment
• recruitment methods and materials
• payment arrangements
• timing of the consent process
• inclusion/exclusion criteria
• whether participants may be susceptible to coercion or undue influence
• whether a population that stands no chance of benefiting is being selected to assume the risk
