Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials

Bert Spilker and Joyce A. Cramer. 346 pages. New York: Raven Press; 1992. $80.00.
Defining a sound strategy for patient recruitment is the primary theme of this, the tenth book in an evolving series of pragmatic texts written for the clinical trials professional. Because patient recruitment problems are the most important reason for the failure of clinical trials, a strong need exists for a source that gathers numerous ideas for patient recruitment. The authors provide examples of letters, brochures, announcements, and campaigns that can be sculpted to reach intended study populations. Another strength is the checklist-oriented tables and study-specific figures that are based on current clinical trials.
A book on this topic was long overdue, and the authors have clearly met their objectives.
