The participants in this study were on average aged 34 (SD 10.70) years, 35% (35/100) were people of color, 58% (58/100) identified as women, and 46% (46/100) had an average of several years of postsecondary education (mean of 15.57 years of education in the total sample, SD 2.75). This is in contrast to our prior studies of TCT in adults with persistent schizophrenia spectrum disorders where participants were recruited from community outpatient mental health clinics, where the average age was 43 (SD 12.85) years, 50% were people of color, 28% identified as women, and the average number of years of education was 13.5 (SD 2.24) [This is consistent with the study by Moseson et al [These and our results suggest that although there are some benefits to web-based recruitment (eg, an increase in recruitment of women, a more geographically diverse sample, and increased efficiency), there are also limitations. Web-based recruitment led to a less racially diverse sample in our study and in some of the studies by Moseson et al [
