Marketing strategies for recruiting gay men into AIDS research and education projects.

Recruiting gay and bisexual men into AIDS-related research and education programs will become increasingly common as federal, state and local funds become available. The Pitt Men's Study, a study of the natural history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, developed a recruitment strategy based on marketing principles. These techniques allowed the study to target particular gay and bisexual groups for inclusion. 1718 gay and bisexual men were recruited. Non-whites and unemployed men were targeted and recruited in numbers comparable to their representation in the larger community.

Co-occurring words and retrieval efficiency: finding information about alternatives to animal testing in relation to skin irritation testing.

Words appearing in abstracts of scientific articles are often useful as search terms, particularly those words and word patterns that are unique to the relevant field of endeavour. In view of the heightened interest in obtaining information about alternatives to animal testing, efforts directed toward enhancing retrieval of pertinent references from the biomedical literature are warranted. Words and phrases, and word-phrase co-occurrences describing methods of experimentation in abstracts about alternatives to skin-irritation testing in animals, were evaluated with regard to retrieval efficiency in the National Library of Medicine database, Toxline(. Precision of retrieval was defined as the number of pertinent references found in the total number of citations retrieved. Retrieval precision values ranged from 0.25% to 100%.
