This presentation will discuss the development, dissemination, and evaluation of recruitment materials utilized by the SMART Life Study to engage working-age adults of lower-socioeconomic status in health promotion research. The strategies discussed may provide insight on how to further engage this often hard-to-reach population in future health promotion/disease prevention studies.
