Abstract

Key points: Dementia studies often struggle to recruit research participants. Volunteer registers can potentially help facilitate participant recruitment. Join Dementia Research (JDR) register helped in recruiting study volunteers and raised awareness of dementia research in general. The effectiveness of research registers depends on their design, maintenance and the information included.
