Although these problems can be minimized by intensive tracking and monitoring of the sample [ 20], most disaster studies were initially designed as cross-sectional investigations and had no capacity to engage in sample retention activities.
Considerable efforts went into engaging the sample to participate in the follow-up study and in the medical examinations, including special training of the interviewers on recruitment and conversion techniques, financial remuneration, and holding lotteries during the period of the fieldwork.
However, given the tendency to sample more engaged participants with convenience samples, we might expect responses from response professionals to actually overestimate the effects of participation on preparedness.
That group identified the same issues as the wider sample, suggesting the prevalence of the issues identified is not limited to a particularly engaged sample.

In order to isolate the population of ribosomes bound to both SRP and eEF2 in the engaged sample, a mask for SRP was used to further sub-classify the population of ribosomes bound to eEF2 (20%: 64,416) resulting in a final population of 8418 particles.
For much the same cost as the unreliable routine data collected, in this case on infant and maternal health outcomes across the country, we engaged a sample of communities in a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Many of the CE strategies identified in this review are relevant for continuing to engage communities beyond sample collection.
The preinterview costs involved staff time in selecting and attempting to reach participants including accessing the electoral roll, sending participant invitations, follow-up phone calls and door-knocking to schedule interviews with those randomly selected, as well as setting up and manning an information booth to engage the volunteer sample.
Four studies 22 37 46 47 used volunteer samples from stillbirth organisation mailing lists that are likely to represent a much more actively engaged sample.
