12 The potential adverse impact that a low response rate might have on the conclusions drawn was highlighted and the need for further research into practicable methods for defining and monitoring population salt consumption was underlined.
Altering the future cost curve for adult survival will require more widespread use of current interventions, most notably tobacco control, but also research to identify practicable low-cost drugs, diagnostics, and strategies.
Simple interventions can help children with VP difficulties, so research is needed into practicable, cost-effective strategies for identification and assessment, so that support can be targeted appropriately.
While challenging, this research agenda is entirely practicable.
While such fine targeting may not be practicable, further research on the effects of burdensome costs would be helpful in refining supportive policies.
PESTLE analysis appears practicable to most research fields and various studies have been conducted by using this method.
More research is now needed into practicable and cost-effective methods to identify VP difficulties, into the appropriate level of difficulty warranting intervention and into the effectiveness of interventions, all within the context of the existing provisions for medical and educational support for school children and the current financial constraints.
However, like other health related concepts, a lack of precise definition [ 4, 5] with complicated amalgamations of ideas can make it difficult to understand how research can be translated into practicable actions.
Because of the immediacy and high-profile nature of these issues, a workshop was held on September 30 , 2004 at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, New York, to discuss how to make such a protocol practicable in a research setting and to gain input from the scientific community.
Thus our results show that the method is practicable, as long as research areas are small and inhabited by only a few individuals.
