Attrition of subjects can contribute to sampling error. Recruitment and retention efforts need to be optimized. METHODS: In a 4-year longitudinal study with adolescent mothers and their babies, the design for tracking included frequent phone calls, progressive monetary incentives, gifts, and one phone number of an alternative contact. FINDINGS: Of the 97 mother-infant dyads recruited, retention was 54% at 6 months and 38% at final data collection. Successful strategies included persistence in making contacts and utilizing alternative contact numbers. CONCLUSIONS: Retention rates for this study were low. With today's technology, many additional strategies need to be employed to improve retention rates with adolescent mothers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
