      ab: Recruiting women participants with criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) has always presented challenges, whether gaining access to them in prisons and jails or locating them after release. This research brief describes how the COVID-19 pandemic required us to change our recruitment strategies from previously successful approaches to a hybrid strategy using techniques from respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to recruit CLSI women. The RDS techniques, with internet social media, enabled us to capitalize on the community-based social networks of CLSI women to recruit 255 into our clinical trial of a health education intervention. This new avenue for recruitment can be useful beyond pandemic conditions.
