Popis: Abstract Background Recruiting participants into trials is important to ensure trial success. We report the results of a recruitment process using electronic health records (EHR) to identify potentially eligible patients with telephone follow-up to enroll participants into a randomized, controlled trial of a physical activity intervention. Methods Patients aged 18 to 77 years with prediabetes or diabetes not using insulin and reporting low physical activity were potentially eligible. An EHR program code was created to assess eligibility. Patients received an email or mailed letter explaining the trial and information that they will be contacted in the coming weeks. Recruiters made up to 5 contact attempts. Patients were categorized as never reached, contacted by phone, consented, and randomized. Information was collected from the EHR to identify sociodemographic characteristics through the recruitment stages. Pearson’s chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test were used to test for differences in categorical variables; Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for continuous variables. Analyses were completed using R version 4.3.0. Results Recruitment continued from July 2020 through September 2023 with a goal of 482 participants. A total of 11,152 patients received either an email (89.5%) or letter (10.5%) informing them of potential eligibility (pre-diabetes: 66%; female: 57%; Hispanic: 65%; Spanish-language preference: 25%; neighborhoods with a high deprivation index: 24%). Recruiters contacted 4033 patients by phone; those contacted were more likely to have prediabetes than diabetes (77%), to be female (61%), were less likely to be Hispanic (60%), or to have a Spanish-language preference (17%) compared to those not contacted by phone (all p
