In addition, the follow-up telephone interviewers will record data arising from the outcome of each follow-up telephone survey, including the time and date of all call attempts, call outcome (eg. engaged, answering machine, call partially complete, call complete or refusal), length of call, and the interviewer who conducted the call.
Calls were recorded and the content of each was documented on a standardised proforma by the role player conducting the simulated call.
