Methodology
• To create a successful clinical trial
recruitment strategy to enroll eligible
patients in a pediatric ADHD clinical
trial.
• Clinical trials explore whether a
medical strategy is safe and effective.
• Completed trials advance medical
knowledge and improve patient care.
• A critical step is the recruitment of
patients.
• A failed recruitment can delay the
study time, increase costs and could
terminate the study.

• Reached:
• 4 Pediatrician Offices
• 4 Recreational Parks
• 17 Elementary Schools
• One individual scheduled a
consultation appointment but, did not
meet all enrollment requirements.
I would like to thank my preceptor,
Kuntal Shastri, and other fellow team
members: Igor Grossman, Karleen
Shim-Chim, Andrea Macfaddden, NP,
Dr. Jeffery Apter, MD. I could not have
completed this project without all your
help and support.
• Effectiveness was assessed by
reviewing patient paperwork to
determine how patients received
study information.
• The one patient that inquired about
the study was informed through a
pediatrician’s office.
Limitations
• A limitation to the data was that the
data collection ended on December 1,
2015.
• The outcome could be delayed
because individuals might contact the
office after the data collection date.
• Thus, these results could be an
underestimate of the true value.
