ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To identify Hispanic/Latinx and non Hispanic White participation rates in a community-based project using door-to-door recruitment.METHODS:
We conducted a two-stage area probability sample of housing units in Nueces County, Texas, using Census data including Mexican Americans (MAs) and non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). From May 2018-February 2020, residents over 64 were asked to take a cognitive screen. We compared expected and observed ethnic-specific participation.RESULTS:
Nearly a thousand (996) participants enrolled. Accounting for sampling error, the observed count of MAs (n=609) significantly exceeded expectations ([inline-graphic 01], [95% CI 521,542]). The observed count of NHWs (n=387) was less than expected ([inline-graphic 02], [95% CI 455, 473]. The sub-group with the largest difference in observed vs. expected participants was MA women, n=376 observed, 306 (95% CI 300, 312) expected.CONCLUSIONS:
Mexican Americans were significantly more likely to participate than expected, challenging the notion that ethnic minority populations are less likely to agree to research.
