To achieve these, Boy Scouting applies eight methods of Scouting: Ideals (viz., the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Scout Motto, and the Scout Slogan), the patrol method, participation in outdoor programs, advancement, adult association, personal growth, leadership development, and the uniform.
While there were many similarities in methods, participation rates ranged from 20%to49%9%.
An overview of the projects' details, including sampling frame, recruitment methods, participation rates and challenges is presented in Table 2.
The rationale, methods, participation characteristics, compliance, and main results of the ATBC study are described in detail elsewhere (The Alpha-Tocopherol Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study Group, 1994a, b).
14 The strengths that distinguish SPIRIT from other protocol guidance documents include its systematic and transparent development methods; participation of a wide range of key stakeholders; use of empirical evidence to support its recommendations; and availability of detailed guidance including model examples from protocols.
The physical tools, the language used to describe the process, the methods of participation all valued participants' contributions, supporting them in being creative and guiding them through quite an unusual process.
The vision of the platform was to support members of the public to act as scientists and help them learn the 'scientific method' through participation and activity.
High representativeness has been achieved by means of the sampling method and participation rate.
In addition, we further verified reliability of our method through participation in the First International Laboratory Calibration Study coordinated by Animal Sciences Group-The Netherlands Institute for Fisheries Research (ASG-RIVO) and Örebro University (Lindström et al. 2005).
Studies that investigated stool-based tests as a screening method reported participation rates of 47-50% (gFOBT) and 60-62% (iFOBT)[ 13, 17].
Face-to-face interviews were chosen since this method enhances participation, in particular by those with low education and migrants and since this method was also chosen in the WHO survey.
