Those people who indicate a willingness to participate, and fulfil the first stage eligibility criteria are invited to an initial interview with a research nurse at which there are further eligibility checks, and potential participants are provided with a detailed explanation of the study purpose and procedures.
The physiotherapist responsible for the evaluations will clarify the objectives of the study, possible treatments, eligibility criteria and potential risks resulting from the application of cerebral and peripheral stimulations.
As a consequence the eligibility criteria and potential impact on patient recruitment was modelled from data in the United Kingdom Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Registry (UKPSSR) [ 14] to ensure a robust recruitment strategy could be employed.
Prior to program initiation a brief health survey (BHS) was administered to as many employees as possible at each participating worksite to determine eligibility, and evaluate reach and potential participation predictors.
Potential participants were first interviewed by telephone for potential eligibility and then, if appropriate, scheduled for the examination visit, where informed consent documents were reviewed and signed.
Next, telephone numbers were called and eligibility of potential participants was assessed.
The study coordinator explains the study to them and also asks the potential participant a short number of questions to confirm their potential eligibility and interest in the study.
Eligibility criteria were also codified, and potential passengers included Federal ministers, opposition leaders, "individuals of similar status and importance visiting Australia", two-star officers and above, and other dignitaries of similar status.
We help people make informed decisions and we educate people on their potential eligibility and we address the misconceptions and give them the option to apply.
Furthermore, school districts should only ask for information necessary to determine eligibility, and should reduce the potential for calculation errors by doing wage conversions themselves instead of asking households to estimate their annual income level.
