Recruitment and Engagement Reports in R for NIH funded Mobile Health Study

Julia Henkins, MPH

Research Specialist at UIC Academic Internal Medicine and Geriatrics

Julia will be talking about how she used REDCap and the tidyverse package to capture recruitment and engagement data for a randomized controlled trial. Her team is evaluating a clinical pharmacist/health coach mobile health intervention for type 2 diabetes management in urban African Americans and Latinos. They created automated reports for recruitment, retention and health coach activity.

Directions: The venue is at 633 N. St. Clair, 18th Floor Classroom, above the Hyatt hotel. Enter along the St. Clair entrance, not the hotel or Starbucks entrance. Use the elevator to go to the 18th floor. No need to sign in with building security. The building is a 10-15 minute walk from the Ward Building (last stop of the Intercampus shuttle). If coming by red line CTA, get off at Chicago and State or at Grand. If using Google Maps, search for either the street address above or look for “Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM).
