Cost and yield considerations when expanding recruitment for genetic studies: the primary open-angle African American glaucoma genetics study

摘要

BackgroundAfrican Americans have been historically under-represented in genetic studies. More research is needed on effective recruitment strategies for this population, especially on approaches that supplement traditional clinic enrollment. This study evaluates the cost and efficacy of four supplemental recruitment methods employed by the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study.
