Objectives With COVID-19 pandemic, the recruitment of participants for research had to adapt to new formats. The objective of this analysis was to describe the different recruitment methods of college students for the Snackability Trial during COVID-19. We also examined the reasons for exclusion in the study. The Snackability Trial is a randomized controlled trial to test the Snackability mobile app designed and developed at FIU to help students identify healthy snacks by providing a score from 0–11 (the higher the score, the healthier the snack) based on the USDA snack guidelines.
