PsicoMedica has developed general and specific recruitment strategies according to the characteristics of each study. Studies are successful due to several factors such as: working with a professional staff engaged in clinical activities at other institutions besides PsicoMedica; promoting activities through the mass media, focused on the identification of pathologies (not a direct protocol promotion); alliances with public and private health services; availability of leaflets with a checklist on psychiatric pathologies in waiting rooms; and telephone interviews with regular users of the clinical services, as well as educational lectures for the community.
