Needs Assessment Study in Colombia: Recruitment Phase‐Design of Remote Communication Strategies to Encourage participation in dementia research during COVID‐19 pandemic

During the pandemic, we face multiple challenges during the research. One of them was recruiting participants in the age of social distancing. As a result, we had to use creative approaches that would allow us to access the study population contemplating all the complexities, difficulties or problems that research during a pandemic demands. For dementia, we design a method to encourage the participation of patients, caregivers, professionals and associations in Colombia. Combining different virtual frameworks, tools and techniques. We embraced biosafety provisions from health policy authorities mitigating the exposition of our high‐risk groups, making up the majority of our target population.
