What are some typical participant recruitment activities that represent low community engagement?
Participant recruitment activities that fall at the low engagement end of this continuum include: intercepting potential participants on the street or other venue; conducting random phone sampling; posting flyers on the street or in a newspaper; and other forms of ad-hoc interactions between participants and research staff. These methods are designed and conducted at the discretion of the researcher, often without any involvement of a community organization partner or intermediary.
