Leading Recruitment for Rural Veteran Study
At VetREC, we deeply understand Veterans and the unique challenges researchers face in accessing and engaging this community. Therefore, we’re here to help.
On this project, we partnered with a research team from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to support a project focused on improving access to services for rural Veterans across the US.
So, what did we do to help?
First, we met with the team to ensure project outcomes aligned with the true needs of the Veteran community. Then, we reviewed the surveys to ensure the questions were culturally aware. Additionally, we contributed ideas for how and where to recruit Veterans to engage in the research. Furthermore, we communicated directly with the funding agency to ensure Veterans were involved in the entire research process. Moreover, we designed the study recruitment materials, including the fliers and all communications. Lastly, we distributed the study recruitment materials throughout the expansive VetREC network.
Currently, recruitment is well underway. Once it’s complete, we will give feedback on the study findings and help distribute the outcomes throughout the Veteran community.
At VetREC, we understand Veterans and research. We stand ready to support your research and ensure it’s research with, not on, Veterans.
This study is still recruiting! Why should you engage?
- Make an Impact: Your experiences will guide important changes in how services are delivered to rural Veterans.
- Continue Your Service: Engaging in this research is a way to continue serving your community. We research with Veterans, not on Veterans.
- Quick and Easy: The survey takes just a few minutes of your time (and you get an Amazon gift card for participating!).
