Abstract

Natural experiments are often used for answering research questions in which randomization is implausible. Effective recruitment strategies are well documented for observational cohort studies and clinical trials, unlike recruitment methods for time-sensitive natural experiments. In this time-sensitive study of the impact of a minimum wage policy, we aimed to recruit 900 low-wage workers in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Raleigh, North Carolina. We present our recruitment strategies, challenges, and successes for participant screening and enrollment of a difficult-to-reach population.

为评估最低工资政策的时间敏感性自然实验招募低工资工人：挑战与经验教训》。

自然实验通常用于回答随机化不可行的研究问题。对于观察性队列研究和临床试验来说，有效的招募策略已经有据可查，但与时间敏感性自然实验的招募方法不同。在这项关于最低工资政策影响的时间敏感性研究中，我们的目标是在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市和北卡罗来纳州罗利市招募 900 名低工资工人。我们将介绍在筛选参与者和招募难以接触人群方面的招募策略、挑战和成功经验。

期刊介绍： Field Methods (formerly Cultural Anthropology Methods) is devoted to articles about the methods used by field wzorkers in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities for the collection, management, and analysis data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. Articles should focus on innovations and issues in the methods used, rather than on the reporting of research or theoretical/epistemological questions about research. High-quality articles using qualitative and quantitative methods-- from scientific or interpretative traditions-- dealing with data collection and analysis in applied and scholarly research from writers in the social sciences, humanities, and related professions are all welcome in the pages of the journal.
