SKTP 1000260 We thank Rob Stillwell who implemented the recruitment website and Chris Gardner, Mandy Bowden, Bridget Sealey, and Matt Page who helped with the management of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership.
We would also like to acknowledge the work of Sarah Wall and Jennifer Parrish for coordinating and implementing the recruitment protocol necessary for this study.
The authors' responsibilities were as follows: LT, AMPG and IW implemented the recruitment and contributed to the analytical determinations and data collection; LT and MPV contributed to the manuscript preparation; LT, AMPG, RBR, IW and MPV contributed to the questionnaire design; and MPV was the principal investigator of the study.
AK, JN, and GR implemented the subject recruitment, data collection (interviews) and collation.
To ensure an equal distribution of human resources, the Ministry of Health implemented the regionalized recruitment of health workers in 2003.
JD, AA and LG were responsible for developing and implementing the participant recruitment and screening process, and data acquisition.
The majority of the studies (62%) used CBPR and CPPR to develop and implement the intervention, enable participant recruitment, coordinate data collection strategies, assist in the interpretation of results, and facilitate dissemination of findings (3, 24, 59– 69, 69– 74, 75, 75).
For health centres that have implemented telehealth, the recruitment of professionals with prior ICT training would certainly be beneficial.
27 In order to maximise recruitment, we will implement the following strategies as recommended by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) 28—(1) Including practitioners in research team: three GPs (GR, DM and MM) are included as chief investigators on the research team and will be involved in development of the questionnaire and study implementation.
However, local factors impact the effectiveness of specific clinical trial recruitment strategies, and attempts to implement this recruitment model in other Partners HSV-2 Study sites were less successful than in Zambia.
