Readiness profile
This profile compares your current planning against a full readiness benchmark across three domains.
Question 1 of 6
1. Have you clearly defined which groups need to be represented in your study sample?
For example, this might include ethnicity, socioeconomic circumstances, age, language, geography, or other groups relevant to your study.
Question 2 of 6
2. Have you assessed whether your study is acceptable, relevant, and realistic for the people you want to recruit?
For example, have you considered accessibility needs, clarity of information, digital requirements, and practical demands of taking part?
Question 3 of 6
3. Have you used existing research evidence to shape your recruitment approach?
For example, have you drawn on published studies, reviews, SWATs, or prior learning about what helps people join studies like yours?
Question 4 of 6
4. Have you used existing research evidence to shape how you will retain participants in the study?
For example, have you drawn on published studies, reviews, SWATs, or prior learning about what helps people stay engaged and complete follow-up?
Question 5 of 6
5. Have you involved patients, public contributors, or intended participants to test whether your assumptions about the study are correct?
For example, have you explored whether your recruitment ideas, communication approach, or study procedures make sense from their perspective?
Question 6 of 6
6. Have you tested your participant-facing materials in conditions that reflect real-world use?
For example, have you checked whether invitations, information, or digital materials are understandable, usable, and workable in practice?
