Retention is as important as initial recruitment. Strategies to ensure retention include:
1. Regular Communication: Keep in touch with participants and their families through regular updates. 2. Positive Experience: Make the study experience as positive and stress-free as possible. 3. Feedback: Provide feedback to participants about the study’s progress and outcomes. 4. Follow-Up: Implement follow-up procedures to maintain engagement over time.
