      abstract     = {Among the ethnic minority groups in Germany, Turkish
                      immigrants represent the largest community. At the same
                      time, this target group is underrepresented in dementia care
                      research, and there are unique challenges regarding the
                      recruitment of this group for studies. Increasing the
                      involvement of Turkish immigrants in dementia care research
                      is essential for reducing dementia-related inequalities. The
                      aim of this scoping review is to describe strategies for
                      recruiting Turkish immigrants living with dementia and their
                      caregiving relatives for dementia care research and to
                      identify related recruitment challenges.We conducted a
                      scoping review including articles from peer-reviewed
                      journals applying the methodological framework of Arksey and
                      O'Malley and the PCC framework (P = Population, C = Concept,
                      C = Context). We searched the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and
                      Scopus databases as well as the literature written in the
                      German language in local university databases. There were no
                      restrictions on publication dates or study types.
                      Additionally, the references of the identified articles were
                      manually searched, and relevant articles were added. The
                      content analysis was used to synthesize the findings.In
                      total, 651 articles were screened, 15 of which were included
                      in the review. Nine of the 15 articles were focused on the
                      involvement of caregiving relatives, and six of the included
                      articles were focused on people with dementia. The choice of
                      recruitment strategies depended on the specific target
                      group. Five main categories were identified based on the
                      characteristics of the recruitment strategies implemented:
                      Access to health environment, inclusive practices and
                      cultural considerations, face-to-face interactions,
                      technology-mediated access and engagement events. People
                      with dementia were recruited predominantly through senior
                      centres, hospitals, or home care providers; referrals from
                      physicians; and databases/registries. The involvement of
                      bilingual staff was a crucial strategy for achieving greater
                      participation. Caregiving relatives were recruited mainly
                      through dementia-related community organizations, settings,
                      and social networks and through the involvement of bilingual
                      staff. While facilitators play an essential role in engaging
                      caregiving relatives, language and cultural barriers remain
                      the most important barriers.The persistent presence of
                      language and cultural barriers requires a culturally
                      sensitive recruitment approach to increase the involvement
                      of Turkish immigrants living with dementia and their
                      caregiving relatives in dementia care research.},
