Craigslist: We will post advertisements (ads) in locations where we have had success recruiting in the past, such as Chicago, Berkeley, the Research Triangle area, Phoenix, and the DC metro area. We will post the ads under the “gig” section or other sections commonly used for posting recruitment ads for jobs or research participation.
For example:
Facebook groups: Facebook groups will be used for specific and targeted advertising. Ads will be placed in interest groups organized or frequented by prospective participants with the targeted sub-characteristics. Posting ads under Facebook groups requires approval by the Facebook group moderator.
Some example Facebook groups:
[Chicago Queer Exchange] https://www.facebook.com/groups/794897720647153
[Queer Exchange NC: Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties] https://www.facebook.com/groups/qencdow
Reddit: Upon approval of the Reddit moderators, we will post ads in subreddits (or subsections). These ads are equivalent to traditional classified ads in newspapers or online bulletin boards. The general ads will be posted under subreddits commonly used for posting recruitment ads for research participation. We will also post targeted ads in the subsections of special interests or affinity groups to recruit participants of specific sub-characteristics, such as electric vehicle owners.
For example:
General advertisement: [Sample Size] https://www.reddit.com/r/SampleSize/
Targeted advertisement: [LGBTstudies]: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbtstudies/
Census Bureau/RTI/RSS social network: Staff will email information or hand out flyers to their personal networks.
Post flyers: We will post flyers at a variety of public locations, including community centers, libraries, ethnic grocery stores, local social service offices, college dormitories, and local churches.
Work directly with staff: We will work directly with staff at community-based organizations like adult literacy groups that primarily serve foreign language speakers, LGBT Centers, etc.
Snowball sampling: We will ask participants to hand out a flyer, or to provide an email address or phone number for one or more persons they know who have the same sub-characteristics.
