This would be developed based on behavioural rules on choice of destinations, route finding and so on, derived from subjective and objective evidence gathered during data collection.
In some regions, however, data on women's personal variables were either not routinely gathered or data collection did not meet the protocol's requirements before the specified date.
All information gathered during data collection will be confidential, except in the situation of a participant or someone related to the participant being at risk, in which case the information will be acted upon.
In 73% of cases, cost and outcomes data were gathered through primary data collection.
Information was gathered using different data collection methods, a technique known as triangulation.
In addition to an insufficient number of cost data points, data have often been gathered using different data collection instruments and compiled using different methods.
The screening program therefore needs to determine when both types of information will be gathered and whether data collection should be repeated.
The basis for decision-making started with whether a screening test is available, which was then overlaid by the overall quantified expert opinion analysis gathered via the data collection information tool.
Using the validated evidence base and expert opinion, each condition that had previously been assigned to a category based on scores gathered through the data collection instrument was reconsidered.
As previously discussed, using a two-step process, the information gathered with the data collection instrument and the review of the scientific literature provided information used to assign a score for each condition.
Hence, using primary care GP networks that register data which is not systematically gathered via other data collection systems is of considerable added value for monitoring death and dying from a societal point of view, comparing countries and providing a good basis for continuous surveillance.
