Plans to promote participant retention and complete follow-up {18b}
Enrolment logs have been created and will be used to monitor the progress of all participants throughout the trial period until all data has been collected. Within the enrolment log, we monitor all meetings with participants including the date of randomisation, attendance at appointments and completion of each data collection point (baseline, 6 months and 12 months). Any withdrawals or deviation from protocols will be recorded and a note to file/withdrawal form will be added as required. Outcome data will be collected from all participants unless they have explicitly asked us not to contact them further. For participants who discontinue or deviate from intervention protocols, a purposive sample of qualitative interviews will be conducted at 6 months to understand any reasons for this. Sampling will be based on clinical site, gender and time of discontinuation/deviation.Participants will receive reminder calls before each appointment and will be contacted in advance of any research assessments. Researchers schedule home visits to complete follow-up assessments where necessary. Participants will receive compensation for transport and the time taken for the data collection appointments (PKR 500 for screening, PKR 750 for complete assessment for patients and PKR 500 for caregivers in Pakistan and INR 300 for screening, INR 400 for complete assessments and INR 500 for caregivers in India).
