AnnotationThe US National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institute of Health is behind a major initiative, the Resource Centers on Minority Aging Research (the RCMARs), and has encouraged projects in which recruitment of minority elders has been a critical component. A number of recurrent themes emerge from the articles in this special issue of the Journal of Aging and Health: the need to understand the perceptions of older minorities towards research and research participation; the necessity to build trusting relationships in minority communities; gathering systematic evidence on effective recruitment techniques; and retaining minorities in longitudinal studies.
