Abstract
This analysis identifies the correlates of 60- and 120-day telephone-based study follow-ups among community-dwelling adults in North Central Florida. Six thousand three hundred and fortyparticipants were recruited by Community Health Workers from the University of Florida's community engagement program with a face-to-face baseline and two phone follow-ups assessing indicators of health. Physical disability versusnone (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2─1.9), high trust in research versusnone (aOR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.1─2.1), history of research participation versusnone (aOR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3─2.0), having health insurance versusnone (aOR, 1.4; 95% CI,1.1─1.7), interest in research participation versusnone (aOR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.3─2.7), and no drug use versusdrug use (aOR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3─0.9) significantly predicted completion of follow-up. Health and social factors such as disability, insurance, history of and interest in research, trust and no drug use significantly predicted completing two follow-ups. These findings can facilitate efforts to minimize attrition in the research enterprise.
