Multiple sources were used for data collection at screening (week preceding recruitment and first/seventh day after recruitment), at recruitment (day zero or month zero), induction (from the first to the second week of treatment) and maintenance (third, sixth and twelfth months).
A combination of qualitative techniques was used for data collection including a screening questionnaire, artifact elicitation interviews, and critical incident interviews.
The R environment for statistical computing (http://www.R-project.org) was used for data analysis during the screening process, unless otherwise indicated.
Conceptual modeling portrays the application domain at a high level, using terms and concepts familiar to the application users, ignoring logical- and physical-level aspects (that is, the underlying database or programming structures used for implementation) and external-level aspects (that is, the screen forms used for data entry).
Small Laboratory Information and Management System was used for screening data management.
An Accord HTS database (Accelrys Inc, San Diego, CA, USA) and Small Laboratory Information and Management System (SLIMS: Kelley, Lunn, Stockwell 2004) were used for screening data management and analysis.
A detailed description of the methods used for searching, screening and abstracting the relevant data has been published 1 and is briefly summarised here.

Data brokers don't consider themselves to be credit reporting agencies, which means they can't be used for screening potential employees or tenants.
Statistical methods used for HT screens data analysis are commonly borrowed from small-molecule screens or even other types of high-dimensional data methods.
