Methodology

• To create a successful clinical trial

recruitment strategy to enroll eligible

patients in a pediatric ADHD clinical

trial.

• Clinical trials explore whether a

medical strategy is safe and effective.

• Completed trials advance medical

knowledge and improve patient care.

• A critical step is the recruitment of

patients.

• A failed recruitment can delay the

study time, increase costs and could

terminate the study.

• Reached:

• 4 Pediatrician Offices

• 4 Recreational Parks

• 17 Elementary Schools

• One individual scheduled a

consultation appointment but, did not

meet all enrollment requirements.

I would like to thank my preceptor,

Kuntal Shastri, and other fellow team

members: Igor Grossman, Karleen

Shim-Chim, Andrea Macfaddden, NP,

Dr. Jeffery Apter, MD. I could not have

completed this project without all your

help and support.

• Effectiveness was assessed by

reviewing patient paperwork to

determine how patients received

study information.

• The one patient that inquired about

the study was informed through a

pediatrician’s office.

Limitations

• A limitation to the data was that the

data collection ended on December 1,

2015.

• The outcome could be delayed

because individuals might contact the

office after the data collection date.

• Thus, these results could be an

underestimate of the true value.
