“…Third, the educational session presenters were generally white women representing a lack of concordance between the recruiters and potential participants. Moorman et al [2] suggest this may negatively influence minority recruitment. However, discussion with the NEF Director and conference planners concluded this was likely not a significant issue in this study as it was common to have ethic/culturally diverse speakers at Zeta Phi Beta conferences.…”

“…To understand the prevalence and relevance of genetic variance within and between populations it is important that the continuum of ethnic/racial diversity be represented in cancer genetic clinical trials. Studies have generally found that minority participation in clinical research, particularly among African Americans, is low [2,3,4,5,6,7]. Among these, recruitment varies from 3 to 20%.…”

Background/Aims: Reduced minority participation in clinical research challenges researchers to consider novel recruitment modalities. This study describes a formal partnership between the National Educational Foundation of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and the Mid-Atlantic Cancer Genetics Network. The goal was to enhance awareness about inherited breast cancer and to increase enrollment in the national Cancer Genetics Network. Methods: In this descriptive, pilot study, two recruitment strategies across four states were undertaken: an onsite educational session at four Annual State Leadership Conferences and a 2-tiered direct mail campaign to the sorority membership. Results: Recruitment methods targeted over 1,200 well-educated African American women. Of the 279 attendees at the state conference educational sessions, only 3 women meeting the high risk eligibility requirement enrolled. Direct mail recruitment elicited 24 eligible women. Lessons learned are described. Conclusion: Despite low accrual, the partnership laid a foundation for broader collaboration with the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. In the future, collaboration with minority sororities and fraternities as part of standard registry recruitment should be explored.

Background and Design:Occupational hand eczema is a commonly encountered problem. The time interval between onset and diagnosis is often long and this leads to increased morbidity. Besides dermatologists, family practitioners and workplace doctors play a role in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. We aimed in our study to evaluate the discrepancies in how the disease is diagnosed and how the patients are handled between these specialty groups. We also aimed to determine the level of knowledge about occupational eczema and how the knowledge could be increased.

“…Chemical exposure can lead to contact dermatitis, the most common occupational skin disorder; responsible for up to 30% of all cases of occupational disease in industrialized nations. Epidemiologic data suggest that contact dermatitis accounts for ≈95% of all cases of occupational skin disease, imposing considerable social and economic implications (Burnett et al, 1998;Clark and Zirwas, 2009). Time off work, loss of workplace productivity, reduced quality-of-life, and medical and worker compensation costs are several factors accounting for the loss of billions of dollars.…”
