Sumario:BACKGROUND: Few cluster-randomized trials have been performed in rural Guatemala. Our objective was to describe the feasibility, recruitment and retention in our cluster-randomized trial. METHODS: In our cluster-randomized trial, a range of contraceptives were brought to mothers’ homes in rural Guatemala. RESULTS: Of 173 women approached, 33 were excluded. Of the 140 eligible women, 127 (91%) consented to participate. Of the 87 women who should have been assessed for the primary outcome, three were lost to follow-up, which represents a retention rate of 97%. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses who are both clinical providers and study staff can feasibly conduct research, which leads to high enrollment and retention rates.
