Data were extracted on study characteristics, sampling and recruitment, theoretical framework, methods, and results, with all studies being coded by one reviewer, and two reviewers coding 10-25% each (67 studies were double-coded in total).
Given the lack of practical and comprehensive recruitment conceptual frameworks or guidelines in the literature, the authors propose newly synthesized guidelines for research recruitment of underserved populations: EERC (evaluate, engage, reflect, and carefully match).
CB contributed to study design, recruitment, data collection, framework analysis, interpretation, drafting and revising the manuscript.
SM contributed to recruitment, data collection, framework analysis, interpretation, and revising the manuscript.
The purpose here is to describe the design, theoretical framework, recruitment process, and methodology of the DAGIS study.
These questions were designed to ask about the five components of the quality assurance framework: recruitment, training, monitoring of clinical and non-clinical quality, monitoring of client experience and the feedback loop.
The themes included: shortage of health workers; policy and legal framework, recruitment, deployment and retention of trained health workers; support supervision; training of health workers; nursing aides; village health teams; and induction in relation to task shifting that is perceived as means to address human for health issues.
However, we propose that, together with our insights regarding the multiplicity of skills required to negotiate recruitment tasks, the model provides a framework to support quality improvement activities.
Examining the feasibility of recruitment strategies and analytical framework helped further fine-tune research questions and analytic focus.
