The effectiveness of each recruitment strategy was evaluated by computing the cost per participant (CPP), which is the ratio of direct cost over the number enrolled. More effective strategies yielded lower CPPs.

Participants recruited via Facebook had lower average age (P=.008) and had spent fewer years in the United States (P&lt;.001). Among the participants recruited via Facebook, a greater percentage of individuals had at least a high school education (P&lt;.001) and an annual income above US $10,000 (P&lt;.001). In addition, a greater percentage of individuals were employed (P&lt;.001) and foreign born (P=.003). In terms of subethnicity, among the subjects recruited via Facebook, a lower percentage of individuals were of Mexican origin (P&lt;.001) and a greater percentage of individuals were of Central American (P=.02), South American (P=.01), and Cuban (P&lt;.001) origin.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Facebook was the most effective method for recruiting Hispanic or Latinx smokers in the United States for this RCT.
