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 Background: Little is currently known regarding the feasibility of using a self-guided, remote, web-based platform as the basis for a longitudinal study of aging in community-dwelling older adults (OAs). The current study describes the feasibility, and risk factors for participant drop out, using this approach as part of the web-based Louisiana aging brain study (web-LABrainS). Objective: This study used data from 402 participants in the web-LABrainS effort to determine the feasibility of using a self-guided, remote, and web-based platform as the basis for conducting longitudinal research in community-dwelling OAs. Additionally, we sought to determine the risk factors associated with participant dropout over a 12-month period in web-LABrainS and determine whether the same risk factors associated with dropout from in-clinic longitudinal studies were observed in web-LABrainS dropouts. Methods: Participants were enrolled in web-LABrainS on a rolling basis using word-of-mouth promotional efforts. Participants used the web-LABrainS platform to provide electronic consent, demographic and health information, answer questionnaires, and complete assessments as part of a self-guided and web-based effort offsite of the clinic (remote). Following completion of the baseline battery, participants were contacted by email every 6 months to complete another round of the web-LABrainS battery. The data in the current study was collected from 402 participants, 217 (54.0%) of whom completed baseline, 6-month, and 12-month assessments (adherent participants) and 185 (46%) of whom participated in only the baseline and no subsequent web-LABrainS batteries (dropout participants). Results: Our study indicates that even with limited participant outreach/retention efforts, it is feasible to conduct longitudinal clinical research studies in community-dwelling OAs using a self-guided, remote, and web-based approach. In contrast to traditional in-clinic longitudinal studies, dropouts from web-LABrainS were not observed to be significantly different with respect to age, education, gender, marital status, or living alone (P=.669, .159, .293, .0515, .311). Similar to traditional longitudinal studies, dropouts from web-LABrainS had significantly higher use of depression medication, decreased self-reported mobility, and decreased delayed recall performance (P=.00729, .00722, .00375). Interestingly, no differences in technology use, comfort with technology, time of assessment, or consent to be contacted about future research were observed between adherents and dropouts (P=.169, .355, .473, .399). Predictive binary logistic regression yielded a moderately accurate model and further supported a negative association between cognitive ability and dropout (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.61, 0.96). Conclusions: 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 OAs focused on self-guided, remote, and/or web-based approaches.

I'm doing some work setting up for #RemoteResearch activities and thinking how useful it would be to have a Government approved, secure method to allow participants to test their webcam, microphone, speakers, internet speed and screen sharing permissions prior to joining a remote research session.

It’s true — so many sources still need someone on the ground. We’re happy to be that someone if you’re unable to travel to London archives yourself.
