Project FIT
• Parenting and motivational approach for weight loss in African American families• Target parent communication, autonomy-support , problem solving,
monitoring of youth
• 16-week Intervention• 8 weekly face-to-face group meetings• 8 week online program
• Specific calorie goals• 200 – 300 calorie reduction in energy intake• 100 – 200 calorie energy expenditure • Promote gradual weight loss

Barriers to Participation in Health Promotion Trials
• Competing demands (time, financial, priorities)
• Perceived benefit of participating in research programs may not be clear
• Lack of cultural perspective

Culturally-Relevant Recruitment Strategies
• Surface-Level Strategies– Peripheral– Evidential– Constituent-involving
• Deep Structure/Sociocultural Strategies
Kreuter, Lukwago, Bucholtz, Clark, & Sanders-Thompson (2003)Resnicow, Baranowski, Ahluwalia, & Braithwaite (1999)
![Page 7: The Use of Culturally-Relevant Recruitment Strategies in the Families Improving Together (FIT) for Weight Loss Randomized Controlled Trial Lauren E. Huffman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbe5503460f94ab1a57/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Surface-Level Strategies– Flyers and brochures– Local events and festivals that
cater to a broad population
• Deep Structure Strategies– Healthcare partnerships– Church partnerships– Sociocultural events– Culturally-relevant ads
Applying these Recruitment Strategies to Project FIT
![Page 8: The Use of Culturally-Relevant Recruitment Strategies in the Families Improving Together (FIT) for Weight Loss Randomized Controlled Trial Lauren E. Huffman,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbe5503460f94ab1a57/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Methods: Coding
• Surface-Level Strategies– General community events– School referrals– Word of mouth– Other (included calls from flyers)
• Deep Structure Strategies– Community partnerships– Culturally-relevant ads– Sociocultural community events

Summary• Using culturally-appropriate strategies can
address potential barriers to including minority populations in health research.
• Community partnerships and culturally relevant ads are effective recruitment strategies for reaching this population.
• Adolescent age may be a factor of influence in retention of families
