The Handshake Protocol successfully increased the enrollment rate of minority participants through warm handoffs. Within the first month of implementation, the team achieved a 97% efficiency in meeting its goals, showcasing the success of this innovative approach.
Testing Tele-Savvy was a three-arm randomized controlled trial that recruited participants from four National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers with Emory University serving as the coordinating center. The enrollment process involved each center providing a list of eligible caregivers to the coordinating center to consent. Initially, the site proposed to recruit primarily African American caregivers generated a significant amount of referrals to the coordinating center, but a gap occurred in translating them into enrolled participants. To increase the enrollment rate, a Handshake Protocol was established, which included a warm handoff approach. During preset phone calls each week, the research site coordinator introduced potential participants to a culturally congruent co-investigator from the coordinating center who then completed the consent process. Within the first month of implementation, the team was 97% effective in meeting its goals. This protocol is an example of a successful, innovative approach to enrolling minority participants in multi-site clinical trials.
