In total, 29 women participated in interviews; 13 from the Peezy arm, 13 from the Whiz Midstream arm, and three from the standardised practice arm. Three women declined to take part in the interview study when they were contacted after their participation in the trial ended. The focus was on recruitment among women who had used the devices but a small number of women were also interviewed who were randomised to standardised practice to explore their perceptions of urine sample collection, as well as UCDs and their potential place in UTI care. Participants were aged between 20 years and 88 years.
