Looking To Quit? Recruiting Community College Students Into An Online Smoking Cessation Study, Michael R. Dunn Apr 2014

Looking To Quit? Recruiting Community College Students Into An Online Smoking Cessation Study, Michael R. Dunn

MPA Capstone Projects 2006 - 2015

The Web-Assisted Tobacco Intervention (WATI), a research team from the University of Rochester, has been recruiting research subjects from community college campuses since 2012. Recruitment has proved to be difficult for the team and has slowed the progress of the research project. WATI is seeking to recruit community college students into a smoking cessation study. The WATI team relies upon the help of champions (representatives) at the participating community colleges to facilitate local recruitment efforts. This capstone project seeks to discover effective and ineffective recruitment methods which have been used by the champions at the participating community colleges.
