Abstract MP24: Comparison of on-site versus Remote Support for a Mobile-Device Pilot Study: A Collaboration Between the Framingham Heart Study and Health eHeart Study (FHS-HeH)
2018
Background: New “e-Cohort” study designs provide resource-effective methods for collecting participant data. It is unclear if implementing an e-cohort without direct, in-person participant contact can achieve successful participation rates. The FHS-HeH randomized pilot study compared two distinct implementation strategies for co-enrolling participants from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) into the Health eHeart Study, a digital cohort with infrastructure for collecting mHealth data. Methods: FHS participants who had an email address and smartphone were randomized to one of two approaches: remote vs. on-site support. In the remote arm, participants received an email containing an enrollment URL, and, upon enrollment, were sent four Bluetooth sensor devices. Participants in the on-site arm were invited to visit FHS and were provided in-person support for enrollment and connecting the devices. Results: Compared to participants that declined, individuals that accepted an invitation to participate in our pilot...
