INTRODUCTION: Emerging efforts are using patient portals to send recruitment messages to potential participants in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We assessed the feasibility of using a patient portal to recruit Latino adults into a smoking cessation and physical activity RCT.
METHODS: Secondary analysis of an ongoing RCT. In 2025, the electronic health record (EHR) at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) was utilized to identify patients with the following characteristics: Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, aged ≥18 years, currently smoking cigarettes, and seen at URMC within the last five years. Identified patients with an active account on MyChart®, the patient portal at URMC, were messaged up to two times. The study team made up to five phone call attempts to patients who expressed interest in further explaining the study and completing eligibility screening. Feasibility was defined as exceeding a 1% overall enrollment rate (number of patients who enrolled divided by the number of patients invited).
RESULTS: Two thousand patients were identified in the EHR at URMC as potentially eligible. A total of 1122 patients had an active MyChart account and were messaged (56.1%, 1122/2000). One hundred thirty patients viewed the message (11.6%, 130/1122) and 53 responded as interested in the study (4.7%, 53/1122). The study team successfully enrolled thirteen patients, resulting in an overall enrollment rate of 1.2% (13/1122).
CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to use a patient portal to recruit Latino adults into a smoking cessation and physical activity RCT. While modest, our overall enrollment rate provides important evidence to inform future recruitment efforts, particularly given its high reach and low implementation effort.
