- Researchers conducted focus group interviews with five groups of stakeholders to ask about their views on receiving results of an amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
- Researchers tested a two-step process for recruiting asymptomatic, amyloid-positive individuals into clinical trials.
- To address the challenges of recruiting patients into early-phase trials of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, a memory clinic was implemented within the clinical trials unit of a biopharmaceutical company.
- This paper describes the design and development of a tablet-based decision support tool to enhance shared decision making and decisional capacity for people with a genetic condition that causes development problems and cognitive impairment who are participating in the informed consent process.
- Through retrospective analysis, the researchers tested the potential utility of using a GIS tool as part of a targeted recruitment strategy for reaching populations that are challenging to include in dementia care clinical trials.

- Semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with 17 staff members from a United Kingdom-based Alzheimer’s trial (Reducing pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease through Angiotensin TaRgeting, RADAR) to explore barriers and facilitators to recruitment. The researchers found that challenges to Alzheimer’s trial recruitment can occur at the care pathway and at clinician, patient, and companion levels. They suggest that recruitment can be facilitated by improving diagnostic processes...
- More than 25 plain-language informational brochures in English have been developed to enable and improve communication between clinical research staff and research participants. Most of the brochures are available in an additional 15 languages.
