%X Recruitment through general practitioners (GPs) is a key challenge in primary care trials. Understanding how individual, practice, and regional characteristics affect recruitment and perceived workload could help optimize participation strategies. This study aims to identify barriers and facilitators to patient recruitment within the AgeWell.de dementia prevention trial.We analysed publicly available data on GPs participating in the AgeWell.de trial, including their sociodemographic characteristics, practice structures, and socioeconomic indicators of their practice locations, alongside recruitment and survey data. We used correlation analysis and uni- and multivariable regression models to explore determinants of study engagement in terms of recruitment performance and perceived workload.Among 120 participating GPs, a total of 1,173 patients were recruited, though contributions varied widely.
