Note. Overall, participants of minority race or ethnicity were most likely to be recruited from a variety of techniques. Those who were White were more likely to be recruited via newspaper, while participants of minority races were more likely to be recruited by mailed postcards. Those who were Hispanic or Latino were more likely to be recruited by friends or family. No significant differences were evident by attrition.
