Testimonials

“HealthStreet staff were instrumental in assisting me to recruit an otherwise challenging-to-reach population for my pilot study. In addition, HealthStreet provided me with a convenient and private space to conduct my focus groups. My participants found HealthStreet to be easy to get to by bus or car and felt at ease being greeted by the friendly, HealthStreet staff.”

“Recruitment is typically the most challenging aspect of our smoking cessation studies — HealthStreet allows us to cast a wider net and reach people who otherwise would not have heard of our program.”

“HealthStreet staff members are on the ground in the community talking to people and making connections. They have helped us get the word out and recruit for a broad range of families in the community that we might not have had access to otherwise.”

“I contacted the HealthStreet staff as I was nearing the end of data collection for my dissertation research. After providing them with information about my recruitment goals, they quickly connected me with potential participants interested in hearing about my research. Furthermore, HealthStreet was able to provide a convenient, comfortable, and private space for conducting my interviews. It is an asset to the University of Florida to have HealthStreet foster partnerships with the community and promote community engagement in research.”

“I think what you have at HealthStreet is great! And elsewhere there is such a focus on earning money and getting patients in and out with no consideration of quality.”
