Subject recruitment

Subject recruitment is the process of identifying and enrolling individuals to participate in a research study or clinical trial. It involves finding suitable candidates based on specific criteria, informing them about the study’s purpose and procedures, and obtaining their consent to participate. Effective recruitment ensures the study has enough participants to generate valid results, while respecting ethical guidelines and participants' rights. This process can include outreach through advertisements, healthcare provider referrals, or collaboration with community organizations. Clear communication and transparency are essential to build trust and encourage willing and appropriate participation.
