  • University of Massachusetts Boston

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This systematic review of articles published in 4 counseling journals found 207 articles that used online recruitment, of which 98 (47.3%) reported a response rate. These 98 studies collectively contained 22,466 individual participants. Results showed that nearly one third of all empirical articles used online recruitment, and the average response rate was 34.2% (SD = 22.6). Response rates are further described by journal, population, research methodology, and recruitment strategy. Researcher-reported issues with online recruitment and data collection were also analyzed qualitatively, and recommendations for researchers are discussed.
