PP, CC and AK conducted the study, carried out the interviews, constructed the database, helped analyse and interpret the results, and wrote the manuscript.
Specifically, we were able to make use of qualitative data collected from focus groups and telephone interviews exploring how individuals with cancer-related lymphedema (16 in focus groups of 2 4 participants, 13 completing telephone interviews) construct their experience in daily life [ 33].
For this purpose, we propose steps to reframe the interview dimensions in theoretical frameworks of job performance, to explicate the nomological network of interview constructs, to clarify the validation strategy, and to improve the questions and assessment keys.
A pilot study with four interviews was conducted, which informed the development of a basic interview schedule constructed from previous research findings in this area.
An interview guide constructed according to the chronological order of a consultation was used.
Presence of two biological parents in the household at the time of interview is constructed from information on family structure at each Add Health Wave.
We used a semistructured and probing interview guide constructed through expert consultations and a literature review.
This structured interview was constructed by the authors (8, 9), with guidance from several pediatric endocrinologists and diabetes educators.
To crudely control for potential differences due to the healthy worker effect, a variable 'gestational age at interview' is constructed, with categories <16 weeks and 16 - 21 weeks.
Decrease of workload was expressed in a visual analogue scale and the interview was constructed by the authors, including an epidemiologist, using face validity.
