Using Google Adwords to Recruit Family Carers of People with Dementia
Link to Resource:
Online advertising is a new frontier in research recruitment and Google Adwords is one method of online advertising. However, only a handful of studies have described its cost and effectiveness and none have focused on older adults. This study created a Google Adwords campaign to recruit family caregivers of people with dementia. The study found that the ads were viewed more than 450,000 times in a 6-week period, but only 49 surveys were completed, at a cost of $122 per survey. The paper includes future design recommendations for Google Adwords campaigns.
