Dear Colleagues

Yes, there are various ways to have an extension of CAG such as working with advocacy groups and community networks in and around where trial is conducted however this different structures should be grounded and have been taken through GPP and GCP so that they understand pros and cons of the clinical trials. hence working through CAG is more instrumental because is systematic.

dear Colleauges
in my response on line two I meant we should not rush potential participants and make follow-up call and this waiting period is called cool-off

Dear Colleagues

I concur with all responses because their spot on. The retention starts at the time of recruitment and more over it is important we should rush potential participants for screening but give them time described as cool-off and follow-u with a phone call for information session at site. in order to retain participants in study there are many process however telephoning them at least three or five days before visit so that we get to know the participants situation before hand and see how can we help them.  what is most important is to have an Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)  that guides everyone with same message. Also is important to have a dedicated person to manage it however is team effort from retention officer to all trial staff.
