We quantified response rate and participant characteristics across channels with engagement metrics tracked via Google Analytics and participant survey data. We developed decision rules to identify invalid (duplicative\/false) records (N = 89) and compared them to valid cases (N = 138).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Facebook was the highest yield recruitment source; demographics differed by platform. Invalid records were prevalent; invalid records were more likely to be recruited from Twitter or Instagram and differed from valid cases across most demographics. Valid cases closely resembled characteristics obtained from Google Analytics and from prior data on platform user-base. Retention was high, with complete follow-up for 88.4%. There were no safety concerns and participants reported high acceptability for future recruitment via social media.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We demonstrate that recruitment of college students with T1D into a longitudinal intervention trial via social media is feasible, efficient, acceptable, and yields a sample representative of the user-base from which they were drawn. Given observed differences in characteristics across recruitment channels, recruiting across multiple platforms is recommended to optimize sample diversity. Trial implementation, engagement tracking, and retention are feasible with off-the-shelf tools using preexisting platforms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1932296819839503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,23]],"date-time":"2019-04-23T02:18:40Z","timestamp":1555985920000},"page":"445-456","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Clinical Trial Recruitment and Retention of College Students with Type 1 Diabetes via Social Media: An Implementation Case Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lauren E.","family":"Wisk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent\/Young Adult Medicine, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA"},{"name":"Division of General Internal Medicine & Health Services Research, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eliza B.","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent\/Young Adult Medicine, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kara M.","family":"Magane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent\/Young Adult Medicine, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elissa R.","family":"Weitzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent\/Young Adult Medicine, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA"},{"name":"Computational Health Informatics Program, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-5491.2012.03579.x"},{"key":"bibr2-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dme.12491"},{"key":"bibr3-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dme.12307"},{"key":"bibr4-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0145721711422610"},{"key":"bibr5-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2431-14-228"},{"key":"bibr6-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pedn.2015.05.010"},{"key":"bibr7-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc12-2625"},{"key":"bibr8-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsads.2009.s16.12"},{"key":"bibr9-1932296819839503","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Weitzman ER, Magane KM, Wisk LE, Allario J, Harstad E, Levy S.
