Annotation	Barriers to recruiting Latino caregivers to intervention research are examined in a review of the literature from the last 10 years. Although limited information was found that derived from actual empirical studies, a number of articles describe the potential barriers to research involvement and provide suggestions for making participation more attractive and culturally appropriate for Latinos. Clinical researchers need to increase their sensitivity to such issues as cultural values and language preference, and to develop effective collaborations with the Latino community, particularly those caring for cognitively impaired older family members at home.
