Using participatory design required time and resources, however; it proved a functional way of producing appropriate information for the target group.
In so doing, it is important to reach different groups with appropriate information and messages through various channels of communications.
The data may be used to develop accurate, appropriate information for dissemination to target groups through the most effective media.
It was the intention of this study to seek the contribution of nurses on the issue, in order to gather the appropriate information directly from the target group (nurses), through discussions, asking them to express what they really believed and felt on this issue.
After advice, patients allocated to the intervention group were given the appropriate information sheet to read and take away.
Once group assignment was determined, non-clinic staff informed the participant and provided appropriate information about upcoming study activities.
These semantic groups can be used to guide the selection of appropriate information for inclusion in a characteristic annotation.
This shows that providing HCWs with appropriate information is enough to ensure understanding, especially in a particular risk group like the sample of this study.
On return of the completed baseline questionnaire, participants in Groups 1 (scientific and psychosocial information) and 2 (scientific information) were sent the appropriate information pack.
Finding information is less of a problem today than selecting appropriate information to use.
