In order to ensure adequate participant enrolment, the teams have been actively engaged with the clinical sites. They have held strategy meetings with the management teams at each clinical site before initiation to ensure active involvement from admin and clinical staff. The research teams have set up a stepwise screening and enrolment process. They will actively search through electronic (where available) medical records or individual clinician caseloads to screen for eligible participants with the help of clinical and admin staff at each site. An on-site coordinator will assist with this process. Where patients do not have much time to spare, the research team will split up the consent and screening process to ensure that patients are not missed as a result of time shortage. The research team will also conduct home visits for patients who are unable to complete their assessments at the sites. Recruitment is anticipated to be completed within 6 months however, it is dependent on patient flow at each clinical site.
