Providing multimedia information to children and young people increases recruitment to trials: pre-planned meta-analysis of SWATs

Peter Knapp et al.

Summary: By comparing multimedia information (MMI) and printed participant information sheets (PIS), the study found that MMI can increase the recruitment rate of trials, but has no effect on the quality of decision-making. MMI is a useful tool for recruiting children and young people in trials.

Randomized controlled trial of topical corticosteroid and home-based narrowband ultraviolet B for active and limited vitiligo: results of the HI-Light Vitiligo Trial

K. S. Thomas et al.

Summary: For localized vitiligo, combination treatment with home-based handheld NB-UVB plus TCS is more effective than TCS alone, but successful in only around one-quarter of participants; participants with higher adherence during treatment were more likely to achieve treatment success, but the effects were lost once treatment stopped; combination treatment was relatively safe and well tolerated.

Evaluating the use of multimedia information when recruiting adolescents to orthodontics research: A randomised controlled trial

Peter Knapp et al.

Summary: In this hypothetical trial setting, adolescent patients found that trial information conveyed on a multimedia website was easier to understand and made them more confident in their decision about trial participation. Their subjective evaluations of the website were also more positive and less negative than about the printed information. Multimedia information has the potential to increase the quality of engagement and information exchange when seeking consent for research.

Can we achieve better recruitment by providing better information? Meta-analysis of 'studies within a trial' (SWATs) of optimised participant information sheets

Vichithranie W. Madurasinghe et al.

Summary: Research shows that participant information sheets developed through user testing did not improve recruitment rates in trials. Coordinated testing of recruitment strategies using SWATs is feasible and can provide timely evidence on the effectiveness of recruitment strategies.
