A tripartite model for recruiting African‐Americans into fatherhood intervention research

Abstract: Many studies have examined factors influencing African-American (AA) participation in research studies. But none inform the recruitment of AA men into fatherhood intervention research. Our purpose is to describe the recruitment and enrollment framework of the Dedicated African American Dad (DAAD) Study, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to test a fatherhood intervention against a financial literacy comparison condition. AA nonresident (AANR) fathers are fathers who do not reside with their child on … Show more

“…Many articles described study team observations and “lessons learned” regarding use of different recruitment and retention approaches or frameworks, with some focusing on how recruitment and retention approaches had evolved over the course of a study. In most cases, these articles were narrative summaries of investigator experiences, 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 although, in some cases, the conclusions were supported by completing analysis of study records or interviews or by conducting focus groups or surveys with study staff, site personnel, or participants. 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 Two articles compared recruitment or retention outcomes across similar studies that used different recruitment or retention methods or frameworks.…”

“…The articles summarized 31 studies, with the study recruitment or retention setting varying across articles and sometimes within an article. The majority of the articles reported on at least one study conducted entirely in an urban or suburban community setting 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ( n = 15 articles, 56%) or an unspecified community setting 29 , 30 , 34 , 35 , 44 , 45 , 47 , 48 ( n = 8 articles, 30%). Fewer articles reported on studies with recruitment or retention efforts that the investigators characterized as spanning both urban and rural community settings 31 , 36 , 40 , 43 , 46 ( n = 5 articles, 19%) or on studies with recruitment or retention efforts that occurred exclusively or predominantly in areas that investigators defined as rural 22 , 28 , 29 , 35 , 40 ( n = 5 articles, 19%).…”

“…In light of the recognized importance of father involvement and the preponderance of AA fathers who do not live in the household with their biological children [13], it is important to address the question of engagement in fatherhood intervention research. We view our ability to screen 495 African American men, identify 251 eligible non-resident fathers, collect 192 baseline interviews, and randomize 178 non-resident African American fathers into the study as a successful step in engaging AA fathers [47]. Even so, we did not meet ongoing targets to enroll 20-30 fathers into each cohort (10-15 per allocated group).…”

“…In many ways, the feelings of affirmation and connections that the fathers establish with program staff and other participants contribute to the development of the program's reputation as one where fathers are appreciated and respected. The value of this good will should not be underestimated as previous research has concluded that community partnerships, program infrastructure, and personnel form a recruitment nexus (Julion et al, 2016(Julion et al, , 2018. Similarly, Randles's (2020) qualitative analysis of the meaning that men ascribed to a fatherhood program found that the primary benefits that participants identified were leveraging program incentives to fulfill the provider role and framing their enrollment as a rejection of the deadbeat dad label because although they felt condemned outside the program, they were commended for their presence and effort inside the program.…”
