Participation rates of patients with and without choice of participation mode did not differ (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.74 – 1.28); 65% of patients who choose their preferred participation mode actually participated, compared to 66% of patients who were not allowed to choose participation mode (X 0.03 (1), p = .853).853

Conditional participation rate was higher for patients who were allowed to choose participation mode; 66% versus 53% (RR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.12 – 1.12).
This may have caused an unusually high with-in cluster correlation when choosing between participation and opt-out.
