Recruitment and retention strategies for underrepresented populations and adults with arthritis in behavioral interventions: a scoping review.

This scoping review highlighted the importance of a multifaceted recruitment and retention plan for underrepresented populations and populations with arthritis or fibromyalgia in behavioral intervention programs targeting exercise, physical activity, or chronic disease self-management. Additional research is needed to better understand the individual effects of different strategies and the costs associated with the various recruitment/retention methods in underrepresented populations and populations with arthritis.
