These sessions were used to explore factors that impacted on recruitment.<br \/>\nSetting: Recruitment for the trial took place in the antenatal clinics of two hospitals in south west Sydney (NSW Australia) from March 2007 \u2011 March 2008 one of the most socially and economically disadvantaged areas of Sydney.<br \/>\nMain Outcome measures: To gain insight into the issues surrounding recruitment of prenatal women and to identify the main themes that facilitated or impeded recruitment.<br \/>\nResults: Findings suggested that recruitment to a randomised control trial in the prenatal period resulted in particular barriers. Three theme clusters were identified; engaging participants, content of informational material and organisational issues.<br \/>\nConclusion: Fostering stronger communication between research staff and clinical staff would have enabled easier identification of the target group and having access to the target population at earlier stages of pregnancy would have been beneficial.<br \/>\nRecommendation: Having a rigorous recruitment plan, and evaluating recruitment strategies in future studies of this nature, would be central to understanding why prenatal women involve themselves in research trials. Obtaining the assistance of clinical and administration staff with recruitment strategies would also be strongly recommended.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Karen Wardle<\/li>\n<li>Dean Murphy<\/li>\n<li>Lynne Ireland<\/li>\n<li>Cynthia Holbeck<\/li>\n<li>Carol Davidson<\/li>\n<li>Li Ming Wen<\/li>\n<li>Chris Rissel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>recuitment, health promotion, survey, overweight, prenatal, randomised control trial<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: What we learnt \u2011 recruiting prenatal mothers to an RCT addressing the prevention of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4264,4847,4848,4849,4846,4179],"class_list":["post-7572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-health-promotion","tag-overweight","tag-prenatal","tag-randomised-control-trial","tag-recuitment","tag-survey","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What we learnt \u2011 recruiting prenatal mothers to an RCT addressing the prevention of overweight in early childhood?
