"Everybody likes him, and it was time," the often elusive Mr. Wilford said of Mr. Fox in a rare burst of availability for interviews and photographs.
And yesterday, in the hockey capital of Canada, with the New York-area news media following them and the Toronto press interested in them and the National Hockey League craving publicity, the Stanley Cup champions canceled practice and announced no availability for interviews.
If they agreed, participants were approached by the qualitative researcher, depending only on researcher availability for interviews, until 20 were recruited from each setting.
The reasons for non-completion/non-availability for interviews included patient illness, inadequate address records or death (Figure 1).
A 30% systematic sample of questionnaire respondents who had indicated their availability for an interview in the questionnaire was drawn from respondents as listed according to the order in which questionnaire responses had been recorded, starting at a random number between one and five, and then one and ten respectively.
By the end of April 2007, 83 survey respondents had indicated their availability for a telephone interview.
In total, 44 individual interviews were performed: telephone interviews were chosen over face-to-face interviews to secure full flexibility in the interview schedule and availability of interviewers for the dates and time points suggested by the informants.
However, the study may be limited by the availability of historical figures for interview and memory recall associated with historical analysis.
Participant characteristics are shown in Table 1.> On each shift, a nurse was selected to be observed, depending upon her availability over the subsequent days for interview.
