However, we used a mixed sampling strategy (random and purposive) in an attempt to identify a wide scope of family practice.
(3) Establish a parameter space K = (A k, φ k ) and identify an appropriate search scope and step length based on both effectiveness and estimation precision.
This indicates that, as expected with this mixed population (many of whom were tested before training), in terms of the underlying construct (CBT-E applied knowledge), the items have scope to identify a greater ability on the knowledge measure than that shown by persons in this population and thus to identify increased knowledge as a result of training.
Participants were identified through the West Midlands North primary care research network, as authors of relevant research publications identified from a scoping search, or via personal networks of the CANDID study team.
Items to be included in the first round of the Delphi were identified from a scoping search of the literature to locate previously conducted systematic reviews and key primary studies that had identified factors predictive of lung or colorectal cancer in primary care (for example).
Key informants in Halifax, Hamilton, Thunder Bay, and Winnipeg were identified through a scoping review of health services for homeless persons in those cities.
Where appropriate, the model would incorporate the use of existing grief measures, which were identified in a scoping review of the literature [ 33].
