The Fiber Study is an ongoing randomized controlled clinical trial conducted to compare the effectiveness of three dietary fibers with different levels of fermentability for symptom management in community-living adults with fecal incontinence. The researchers developed a staged approach to recruitment using three primary recruitment methods and a three-phase approach to the enrollment process. We have been successful in reaching, recruiting, and enrolling participants in a clinical trial, as well as in effectively managing study resources and staff time.<p> Minnesota Randomized Controlled Trials/*psychology 24658 Managed Care Programs/organization & administration 10.1002/nur.20131 Patient Dropouts/psychology *Attitude to Health Researcher-Subject Relations/psychology Nursing Methodology Research Fecal Incontinence/diet therapy/*psychology Shame Fermentation 3 document-rn18720 Stereotyping *Patient Selection Community-based recruitment and enrollment for a clinical trial on the sensitive issue of fecal incontinence: the Fiber study 15039 Single-Blind Method 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 Referral and Consultation/organization & administration Motivation Research Design public
