A systematic review
Samenvatting
The results of this review have been translated into a series of recruitment principles for further evaluation by researchers. These principles include (i) form recruitment plans and strategies on evidence of what the target group feels would be appropriate, based on formative research, (ii) conduct a pilot phase of testing, (iii) recruit in places where the participants are located, (iv) allow sufficient time to recruit participants and monitor the uptake, (v) provide training in recruitment methods for recruitment staff, (vi) monitor the participants response to recruitment approaches and use different recruitment strategies where necessary.
