OBJECTIVE: To describe promising recruitment and retention strategies for transient Latino populations, assisting investigators who work with this population in their research design and implementation. METHODS: Strategies in recruitment and retention from a year-long intervention in children and their families are described. RESULTS: Of the 159 families who agreed to participate in the program, 123 parent-child dyads were enrolled. Retention rates were 59% in the control group, 67% in the intervention group. CONCLUSION: Building and maintaining relationships between a consistent study team contact and participants promote strong recruitment and retention outcomes. Barriers such as child care and transportation must be minimized.
