Recruitment
RECRUITMENT
Announcements regarding the study were difficult to convey because the students were partially at home during the recruitment period. For this reason, we published a promotional video on the School of Health Sciences Internet website, a link to the study on the website of the University of Geneva, and regular posts on social networks, including paid advertising on Facebook for two months. Health partners shared the information with their network. Because recruitment was slower than expected, we also asked the various schools of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO) to send direct e-mails to their students. A few of them accepted. Finally, when students returned on-site in the fall of 2021, we held announcements on noticeboards, booths, and printed flyers. There was no compensation to participate in the study, neither money nor course credit.
