With a comparative cross-sectional design, data on research funding, faculty number and characteristics, and the published literature across nursing, public health, and medicine were analyzed.
Indeed, maximising the utility of existing resources is a key issue in many areas of research; for example, longitudinal cohort studies often address cross-sectional sub-questions to attract funding to support their ongoing activity (e.g., Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study [ 15]).
One limitation to this study is its cross sectional nature and we will seek funding to follow up those recruited to study disease remission and persistence over time.
