## Abstract

The University of Arizona Banner Health (UA-Banner) All of Us Research Program (AoU RP) will utilize a
participant-centered enrollment and retention strategy to accrue 20,000 full participants annually during Year 1
to 5 into the AoU RP cohort of one million or more full participants. Engagement and Enrollment: Our
approach has undergone 12 months of planning and 6 months of extended beta phase testing during which we
have enrolled >2,000 full participants aged ≥18 years into the AoU RP. We rely primarily on face-to-face
engagement of potential participants who are receiving care in the UA-Banner Health System. We aim to
operationalize 10 primary enrollment sites by the end of December 2017 which will then be increased to a total
of 13 enrollment sites by December 2018. An enrollment site is a healthcare facility or medical complex within
which the UA-Banner AoU RP has established one or more
enrollment units. An enrollment unit is a fully-equipped station
staffed by an appropriate number of fully-trained and certified
personnel who can implement the AoU RP protocol in its entirety.
Daily enrollment targets from each of the enrollment sites are
depicted in Exhibit 1. We anticipate enrolling 102 full participants
per day for 196 of the 250 working days in a year (366 days -104
weekend days – 12 public holidays) to meet our enrollment target
of 20,000 participants per year. We expect that the remaining 54
working days serve as a buffer with a much lower average
enrollment of 30 participants per day (1,620 per year). The
assumptions underlying these annual cumulative enrollment
calculations are discussed in the section on “Enrollment Targets.”
At full capacity, we would have 65 clinical research coordinators
(CRCs), 12 “promotores” and 20-24 physician champions across
the 10 enrollment sites (deployment is 60% complete as of
November 15, 2017). Our enrollment campaign entails seven
initial engagement approaches by which Banner Heath patients
and other individuals can enter the pathway to becoming full
participants: (1) An AoU-RP introductory/invitation letter (approved
by the IRB) and signed by a physician provider is sent to patients
with an upcoming visit to see the physician provider at a healthcare
facility 3-4 weeks prior to the scheduled visit followed by a
telephone contact and face-to-face enrollment encounter on day of
the scheduled office visit; (2) Impromptu in-person introduction to
the AoU RP by our CRCs to patients, their family members and/or
accompanying persons in the ambulatory care, urgent care and in-patient settings; (3) IRB-approved
introductory/invitation email to Banner Health Plan members and an algorithm-driven targeted pop-up AoU RP
promotional announcement on the My Banner portal accessible to all patients in the Banner Health system
who have registered to use My Banner; (4) “Tabling” – an engagement approach that utilizes a UA-Banner
AoU RP emblazoned information table staffed by 1-2 CRCs that is temporarily stationed in...
