Figure 3.5: Facebook article on 31 August 2012. Of the initial twelve potential participants, six were excluded for the following reasons: Two were outside the trial zone (i.e. Wellington City Council). Two had family members who worked in childcare. On advice from Wellington City Council’s Public Health Unit we declined these expressions of interest based on potential risk. One withdrew from trial following discussion with her family. One withdrew following further information being provided by WREMO staff during a post sign up interview. 8
To ensure we had enough participants to meet the minimum target of ten, the recruitment for participants was extended to include: Wellington Regional Council staff through an advertisement on the staff intranet WREMO volunteers through their established network. These are people who have completed WREMO volunteer training and have an on-going relationship with WREMO. Eight expressions of interest were received from WREMO volunteers. One potential participant was declined on grounds of ill health in the family and one person decided not to proceed with the trial. This resulted in twelve participants, and although one later withdrew due to a family illness eleven participants commenced the trial. Table 3.1 summaries the process to identify participants for the trial.
