Participants without access to a computer (n = 22) were interviewed (AW) and received printed feedback by mail.
Where a GIS match could not be made by computer (n = 86), the address was entered manually from a street directory.
Participants with interest in using a computer (n = 191) were randomly assigned to three groups in a two-phased randomization procedure.
This was also shown in the study-specific questionnaire (Table 2) with regard to the e-training program, in that most of the staff thought that it was good to take the theoretical tests on the computer (n = 23 totally agree, n = 3 partly agree).
Now they are: n Hardware — the sum of all existing tangible assets such as land, minerals, food, factories, cars, computers; n "Wetware" — human brain power, creativity; n Software — language, math, art, culture, recipes, code.
Factors most frequently cited by non-participants as being "essential to participation" included compatibility of registry technology and office computers (N = 55, 58%), automated data entry (N = 44, 46%), and on-site technical assistance from registry staff (N = 31, 33%).
General internists and family physicians were randomly selected from a sample of physicians who completed a survey on the use of mobile computers (n = 275 and n = 275, respectively)[ 45].
Practical issues were also mentioned, such as lack of cooking or computer facilities (n = 4) and food items being past their use-by date due to delayed programme implementation (n = 1).
Emotion rating data from four participants were not recorded by the stimulus computer, leaving N = 38.
We estimated NeV using a moment-based (Krimbas and Tsakas 1971; Nei and Tajima 1981; Pollack 1983; Waples 1989), Bayesian (Berthier et al. 2002) and pseudo-likelihood (Wang 2001) method in the computer program N eE stimator 1.3 (Peel et al. 2004) and mlne 1.0 (Wang and Whitlock 2003).
Computer workers (N = ± 8000) from the head-offices of 7 Dutch companies in various branches (e.g. insurance, science, energy, transportation-policy and taxes) in different regions of the Netherlands received a short questionnaire about symptoms (i.e. pain, stiffness, tingles) in neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands in the past two weeks and the past six months.
