Navigating the Longitudinal Maze: Unravelling Challenges in the Follow‐up of a Dementia Cohort Study
Enhancing motivation strategies tailored to specific groups such as those who lack interest, have relocated, or face family restrictions can effectively boost follow-up participation, consequently reducing dropout rates. Tailoring strategies using technology such as social media, infographics, and messaging applications to each group's unique circumstances can reignite interest in participating in the study, ultimately leading to improved follow-up rates, and enhancing the overall quality of the research.
