Korean Americans in Dementia Caregiving Research: Inclusive Strategies to Barriers in Recruitment

This study addresses the importance of recruiting Korean American family caregivers in dementia caergiving research. We reviewed published studies conducted with Korean American dementia caregivers from 1990 to the present and evaluated the recent progress in the science of recruitment of Korean American participants in research. We identified potential recruitment barriers and possible facilitators from these studies and from our field experiences. A theoretical framework for an inclusive approach to Korean American recruitment and a model for customer-oriented and community participatory strategies provide guidelines to minimize recruitment barriers and maximize participation.
