Recruitment {15}
DISORDER, RECRUITMENT
There are 3 major components to a successful recruitment plan as follows:Understand who is providing care for pregnant patients with an opioid use disorder.Disseminate information to clinics, healthcare providers, and the medical community regarding research initiatives coupled with hospital care of the mother and newborn.Identify pregnant mothers prior to delivery and use prenatal consultation to establish trust and provide an overview of newborn care and the clinical trial.The first two of these components are part of a system-level recruitment initiative while the third component is patient specific. The single most important element of the recruitment strategy is the prenatal consultation. If prenatal consultation is not feasible, effective antenatal dissemination of information regarding the clinical trial will be exceptionally important when approaching mothers after delivery.
