Abstract: This article evaluates recruitment strategies used in a five-year randomized controlled trial called the Autism Parent Navigators (APN) study, which targeted caregiving dyads of children recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study successfully exceeded its recruitment goal by employing a combination of active and passive recruitment methods, including provider referrals, offering diagnostic evaluations, social media outreach, and financial incentives. Findings highlight that recruitment was most efficient when leveraging relationships with diagnostic clinics and community service providers, while broad mailouts yielded many ineligible contacts. The authors recommend that future intervention research prioritize building strong referral networks, monitor recruitment effectiveness continuously, and adapt strategies over time to meet recruitment goals effectively.
