If you have an extra refrigerator that holds a small amount of items, consolidate those items into your main refrigerator and unplug the unused refrigerator.
However, in the interest of usability, the two items were consolidated as a single item for the checklist (see final definition in Table 2).
These items were consolidated into one primary and one sub-item: Important body of water present, and if yes, are there sportive aquatic activities present.
Bibliographic records were imported into a Reference Manager 9.0™ database and duplicate items were consolidated.
First, the 108 FFQ food items were consolidated into 40 food groups according to similarity in nutrient content.
First, the 108 FFQ food items were consolidated into 40 food groups according to similarity in nutrient content (Appendix 1).
First, in face-to-face and online brainstorming sessions, participants responded to an open-ended central question: "What factors should be in place within your clinical setting to support an effective computer-assisted screening tool for psychosocial risks?" The brainstormed items were consolidated by the research team.
For example, after review from the first pair of interviews, three items in the eating/drinking category were consolidated into two items: eating food and drinking liquids; and four items in the ADL mobility category were reduced to two: walking and using stairs.
We then created an accumulated and consolidated 10-item scale with values ranging from 0 (no conflict) to 40 (very strong conflict), and alternatively two 5-item subscales with sum scores between 0 and 20 that indicate the two directions of the construct.
To achieve this objective, we analyzed the items to identify generic types of risk that were applicable across diverse methodological approaches and program areas in order to consolidate items if they related to the same generic risk.
