How can we improve recruitment to trials? In their recently published paper, Healy et al. outline the top 10 prioritised questions for trial recruitment research identified by the PRioRiTy study. The challenge now is for researchers to answer these questions; but how best can these be answered? In this commentary, we illustrate how qualitative research can be utilised to generate in-depth insight into trial recruitment issues, either as a stand-alone methodology, or through a mixed-methods approach. Consideration is given to how different forms of qualitative research can be used to address these priorities and to help researchers set out an agenda to optimise its value.
我们如何才能提高试验的招募效果？在他们最近发表的论文中，Healy 等人概述了由 PRioRiTy 研究确定的临床试验招募研究中最优先考虑的 10 个问题。现在的挑战是研究人员如何回答这些问题；但如何才能最好地回答这些问题呢？在这篇评论中，我们举例说明了定性研究如何能够被用于深入了解试验招募问题，无论是作为一种独立的方法，还是通过混合方法的途径。我们考虑了如何使用不同形式的定性研究来解决这些优先事项，并帮助研究人员制定一个优化其价值的议程。
