If either of these elements failed to fit participants' needs and expectations it could motivate their doctor shopping behavior.
KL fitted participants with the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors, administered questionnaires, collected data, entered data, and provided critical review of the manuscript.
On the other hand, a program designed to fit participants' motivation and ability (e.g. giving participants more time to complete treatment or more e-mail contact) might be suitable to increase adherence [ 34].
Our delivery approach is informed by the multimedia learning literature [ 27], which emphasizes individual differences in rates of learning and behavior change, and the importance of customized program delivery to fit participants' preferences and abilities.
The data were evaluated based on whether or not the program components (e.g., interventions and resources) fit participants' perceived needs and whether or not they promoted intended outcomes according to F-CGRT.
The FIT participants participated in the CRC screening programme varying from 5 years to 4 months before filling out the questionnaire, with a mean interval time of 15 months and 26 months, respectively, for negative and positive FIT participants (data not shown).
Obese high fitness group were similar to lean unfit and fit participants.
Of the 241 FIT participants, 211 of them had carers potentially eligible to participate in this study.
All positive FIT participants were addressed and an equal number of controls was randomly selected (negative FIT participants).
The vast majority of FIT participants would encourage friends and/or relatives to undergo screening (negative FIT participants: 95%, positive FIT participants: 92% P=0.060) and was willing to attend a successive screening round (negative FIT participants: 99%, positive FIT participants 92% P<0.001).
