Community‐University Partnerships for Successful Aging Research: The Canadian SuperAging Research Initiative Site
These findings underscore the effectiveness of a multifaceted strategy for recruiting healthy octogenarians and nonagenarians. They also emphasize the importance of involving community partners and peer ambassadors in recruitment and retention efforts. Importantly, our experiences highlight the time and significant resources necessary to cultivate and maintain partnerships and community trust for the successful engagement of individuals 80 and older in research, particularly those from diverse communities.
