Risk Factors for Community-Dwelling Older Adults Dropping Out of Self-Guided, Remote, and Web-Based Longitudinal Research: Predictive Modeling of Data from the Web-LABrainS Platform

Our study provides some of the first clinical evidence for the feasibility of conducting longitudinal human research using a self-guided, remote, and web-based approach. Additionally, these data highlight the similarities and differences in key factors associated with participant dropout using this type of approach compared to traditional longitudinal study formats. The findings from this study may help guide the design and deployment of future longitudinal studies of older adults focused on self-guided, remote, or web-based approaches.
