Plans to promote participant retention and complete follow-up {18b}
We make every attempt to retain participants and minimize attrition bias through a range of rapport building and retention techniques, incentives, and cultural adaptation of study materials. Though primary outreach is conducted in-person, we also conduct mail and text outreach to maximize participant engagement. We have also powered the study based on 80% retention.While the study presents minimal risks, participants may withdraw at any time upon request.Alternatives available to participants outside the research context are simply not enrolling and attempting to serve the greater good by participating in other research or community service activities.
