Does hospital mode of arrival influence women's decisions to participate in research?

The National Institutes of Health recommends that research studies recruit enough subjects to address relevant gender differences [1-3]. Recruiting volunteers for research, however, is a complicated process. Though some work has informed the barriers to and facilitators of research participation amongst women and other minority subjects [4-9], few have focused on how pre-hospital factors, specifically mode of Emergency Department (ED) arrival, may influence the recruitment of female subjects in emergency research settings.
