Project Title: Improving Research Participant Recruitment

Team Members: Clinician, site administrative staff, parent, research staff member

Defining our Aim(s): What are we trying to accomplish? Improve the rate of participant recruitment to five preschool parents per week in each of the four clinics (20 participants per week) by December 2015.

Describe our Measure(s): How do we know that a change is an improvement? The number of preschool parents whose completed recruitment form is obtained by the clinic staff and faxed to the study coordinator each week for each clinic/total number of preschool parents eligible for the study during that week.

Describe our Change Strategies: What changes can we make that will lead to improvement? Each change will include a PDSA cycle. Specify whose role it is to give the family the screening tool (receptionist, medical assistant, clinician) Relocate screening tool to a convenient location for receptionist Clearly label tool to reduce confusion with other forms Remove unnecessary questions from screening tool to decrease time to complete Provide both a computer-based and paper based screen scoring tool to eliminate need for computer access Provide weekly feedback to clinicians and office staff on project status and recruitment progress
