    Update on CTN-0100 (RDD)

    In June, the CTN-0100 Project Team launched a month-long BINGO challenge aimed at boosting recruitment and retention across the 18 study sites. BINGO squares included hitting (or exceeding!) randomization targets for the month, reuniting with a missing participant, completing two randomizations in one day, and establishing a relationship with a new referring partner. The Operation PAR site (pictured) from the Florida Node Alliance was the first site to “BINGO,” just 6 days into the challenge! Five additional sites achieved “BINGO” by the end of the month. We thank all of the CTN-0100 sites for their continued diligence on this project! Check out the BINGO sheet used for this challenge here!…
