Participant recruitment for preliminary outcome evaluation
pre-lockdown
RECRUITMENT, RECRUITMENT
For the pre-lockdown intervention, the project team coordinated with centre managers to recruit participants. Recruitment strategies included posters, recruitment videos, and in-person recruitment visits to centres by the SUH team. Inclusion criteria stated that participants needed to be staff of working age (16 years or older) who were provisionally scheduled to work for any amount of time during the seven days of collection of objectively measured sedentary behaviour data. For the post-lockdown programme, the project team coordinated with the centre managers to schedule a 20-minute consultation with staff members. In some centres, a doodle poll was used to schedule the consultation sessions directly with participants. All those who participated in the consultations were requested to complete the SUH questionnaire as a part of the outcome evaluation. Participants were given a £5 Love2Shop voucher at each data collection timepoint after the completion of outcome data collection procedures.
