• Description:
  Introduction
  
  Latinos constitute a hard-to-reach minority population in Iowa.
  
  Methods
  
  We used respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to supplement random digit dialing (RDD) to recruit Latinos for a community physical activity intervention.
  
  Results
  
  RDS yielded a 59% increase in Latino participation in just two months, with few demographic differences between RDS and RDD groups.
  
  Conclusions
  
  RDS may increase recruitment of underrepresented populations and strengthen community engagement; however, it is not a quick fix for underperforming recruitment methods.
