Background: Military veterans may be at increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to the general population. PTSD is often comorbid with harmful and problematic patterns of gambling. Behavioural therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have shown promise in treating these cooccurring disorders, especially if combined with #Mobile #Health (#mHealth) interventions to circumvent known help-seeking barriers faced by veterans. To date, however, recruitment for #mHealth interventions has been challenging and may impact intervention feasibility. Objective: Here, our objectives were to describe the strategies used to recruit UK military veterans with PTSD and/or experience of harmful gambling to a pilot study of a smartphone-based #Digital intervention, “ACT Vet”. Methods: We employed several recruitment strategies such as direct mailing, paid study advertising on social media (Facebook) and an online research platform (Prolific), study-specific website management, in-person event hosting with veterans’ charities, snowball sampling and incentives for completion. Results: Results showed that over 27 days, recruitment through Facebook accounted for 21 eligible veterans (seven unpaid, 14 paid advertising), while Prolific accounted for 50. Additional strategies recruited eight eligible veterans. In total, 79 eligible military veterans were recruited for ACT Vet, with 25 completing the pilot study. Conclusions: Difficulties such as low advertisement conversion rate, participant and data attrition occurred throughout the present study. Our findings illustrate the relative effectiveness of social media- and online platform-based initiatives in recruiting veterans with PTSD and/or harmful gambling. Future research should consider establishing an online presence for effective #Digital intervention recruitment with diverse branding to attract representative samples of veterans for #mHealth research.
