Participant Recruitment. United States based clinicians (including physicians, advanced practice providers, and other health care providers) who currently care for neurofibromatosis patients were eligible to participate in the survey. Potentially eligible participants were identified using registration lists for the 2016-2018 Children’s Tumor Foundation NF conferences, the largest NF-specific research conference in the U.S. Registration lists did not reliably differentiate whether conference attendees were clinicians or non- clinicians nor their country of residence, so all potentially eligible participants (n=358) were included in the recruitment process and we relied on screening questions at the start of the survey to filter out non- clinicians and those residing outside the U.S. The chair of the Children’s Tumor Foundation Clinical Care Advisory Board emailed survey invitations in September 2019, with a follow-up reminder email two weeks later. Participation in the survey was voluntary and anonymous. The study was deemed exempt by the Mass General Xxxxxxx Institutional Review Board.

e. Intake and recruitment efforts associated with national labor exchange activities;
f. Strategically located displays of recruitment posters, pamphlets and flyers at locations throughout the County;
g. With approval from the County, presentations to promote WIOA awareness to various groups in the community; and
h. With approval...
Participant Recruitment. For content validity testing in patients, we approached cancer patients aged ≥18 years and able to speak and write Dutch, via their physician at the LUMC, through either a letter or during a consultation. Patients willing to participate sent their written informed consent to the researcher, and then received the link to the online survey. For field-testing, we approached cancer patients participating in an online panel (Xxxxxx.xx), who had agreed to be approached for research, by e-mail and sent them the link to the online survey. They provided informed consent by checking a box at the start of the survey. For the cognitive interviews, we approached cancer patients as described for content validity testing, and scheduled an interview at the LUMC. They received reimbursement for travel expenses. We asked for patients’ age and education. The patients further reported their diagnosis (field-testing) or it was obtained from their treating physician (content validity testing and cognitive interviews). For content validity testing in physicians, we approached physicians treating cancer patients from one Dutch academic hospital (LUMC) and from two Dutch non-academic hospitals (Xxxx Hospital, The Hague, and Xxxxxxx xx Xxxxx, Delft) by e-mail, and sent them the link to the online survey. For the cognitive interviews, we approached physicians from the LUMC by e-mail and if they agreed to participate, we scheduled an interview at their workplace.
Participant Recruitment. Sodium nitrite infusions
Participant Recruitment. For the studies “The effect of inorganic nitrite on conduit arteries, study 1: Intracoronary nitrite study” (Chapter 3) and “The effect of inorganic nitrite on left ventricular function in the human heart” (Chapter 4), participants were patients presenting for coronary angiography to exclude coronary artery disease. Patients were therefore approached for inclusion in the study in advance of their procedure. Exclusion criteria for both studies were: • Significant coronary stenosis, either by angiographic estimation or by invasive assessment (Fractional Flow Reserve[161]) • Impaired left ventricular systolic function • Hypotension at baseline (systolic BP <90mmHg) • Glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency • Inability to consent for themselves. In addition, the study “The effect of inorganic nitrite on conduit arteries, study 1: Intracoronary nitrite study” (Chapter 3) excluded patients with a coronary vessel of interest of less than 2mm diameter and/or who had previously undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Healthy volunteers for the studies in Chapters 3, 5 and 6 were recruited through approved internal King’s College London advertisements (the KCL Fortnightly circular: Research Volunteer Recruitment) administered by the King’s College London Department of Research Governance, Ethics and Integrity (xxx@xxx.xx.xx).
Participant Recruitment. The Client shall recruit Participants for the Program from the Client’s organization, and the Client shall inform prospective Participants of the Program’s requirements.
Participant Recruitment. We approached physicians treating cancer patients for participation, and asked consenting physicians to recruit consecutive unique eligible patients. Patients were eligible if they had been diagnosed with cancer, were ≥18 years old, able to speak and write Dutch, had a consultation in which a decision to start, stop, change or forgo treatment with curative or palliative intent was discussed, and had a life expectancy of over three months. We aimed to assess the measurement properties of the iSHARE questionnaires in a sample representing the heterogeneity of cancer treatment decisions, and therefore asked physicians from a range of cancer specialties to approach patients. The physicians provided patients with an information letter, an informed consent form, and a post-consultation questionnaire, and asked them if they agreed to being called by the researchers. If so, we contacted them to ask if they had questions and if they were willing to participate. Consenting patients sent us their signed informed consent form and the completed questionnaire. We only used the physician’s questionnaire if the patient had provided informed consent.
Participant Recruitment. Due to the study’s focus on African American caregivers, the research team used a targeted and well-developed approach for seeking involvement from minority communities (Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx et al., 2004). The Registry for Remembrance (a community-academic partnership created to improve the participation of African Americans in neurologic research at Emory University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC)) was the main platform used for recruitment, followed by the Emory University’s ADRC. Additionally, the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association also supported the project’s recruitment. Recruitment activities included: presentations to community groups, media materials of cooperating entities (e.g. parish bulletins), regular ADRC and Alzheimer’s Association newsletters, and sustained networking efforts of Registry board members and projected staff. The Atlanta Metro area is home to over 6 million residents, of which 30% are African American. The research team worked strategically with local churches and community groups to establish a trusting rapport, which ensured the success of a targeted sample size of 194 participants at enrollment. Of these participants, 142 completed the baseline assessment. Demographic, psychosocial, and health data were collected using the following methods and instruments. Brief Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scales for depression and anxiety were used in addition to those described below in order to collaborate with the NIH-supported efforts to create standard patient-reported measures (Xxxxx et al., 2007).
Participant Recruitment. It was decided to use a one-to-one recruitment process to ensure the best possible participants attend the workshop. Each TF MRP (5GAA, 5G-ACIA, PSCE) has first sourced interest amongst members while Xxxxxx0X.xxx has reviewed participation at the 1st workshop and created a new target participant list, e.g. greater participation from the Pre-Standardization WG, and other key players in the network and direct liaison with targeted 3GPP chairs and delegates. Invites are being sent on a one-to-basis and tracked through a shared spreadsheet on a weekly basis with very effective results achieved by end June 2019.
