2.3. Participants & recruitment

Key informants were individuals who worked in snakebite prevention and care. They could have a range of different professions, as long as their work gave them insights into the snakebite situation in communities, hospitals or the broader health system. Participants were recruited through Health Action International's (HAI) and Snakebite Healing and Education Society India's (SHE-India) networks of individuals affiliated to snakebite. Also, snowball sampling was used to recruit new participants when the respondent came from an under-represented area in our sample. Participants were invited over email.
