Recruitment strategies and lessons learned from a large genetic study of African Americans
Fig 2
Seasonal trends in recruitment in the POAAGG study, displayed as average number of enrolled subjects/month per Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC).
The months of July and August saw the highest enrollment yield, while spring months showed the lowest yield. Recruitment from the biobank is excluded from this figure. Data from 07/2010-07/2018 is included, as after this time point, enrollment was intentionally slowed as personnel efforts were needed for other efforts such as phenotype collection or database management.
