Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Virtual data collection was highly feasible in both studies, successfully engaging participants in ADRD research, including those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. In RIDE, although project staff occasionally needed to troubleshoot technical challenges (e.g., broken survey links, video issues), the study successfully recruited 500 adults identifying as Black/African American. PARADE showed that synchronous interviews minimized missing data, with care partners providing essential technical and logistical support. Despite occasional difficulties with video conferencing and participant payments, most participants remained fully engaged, highlighting the effectiveness of virtual methods and the need for continuous support to ensure successful participation. Discussion and Virtual data collection offers opportunities to promote inclusion in ADRD research, as demonstrated by the successful enrollment of diverse participant samples in both studies. Successful implementation requires careful planning to address challenges such as digital literacy, educational disparities, and technical support.

Discussion and Virtual data collection offers opportunities to promote inclusion in ADRD research, as demonstrated by the successful enrollment of diverse participant samples in both studies.

Why it matters

This paper reports that virtual data collection was feasible and successfully engaged participants in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research, including underrepresented groups. It addresses research methods and inclusion, not treating, curing, or preventing the disease.
