Exploring the impact of ineligibility on individuals expressing interest in a trial aimed at improving daily functioning regarding perceptions of self, research and likelihood of future participation: A PPI-infused qualitative SWAT

The objective of this exploratory, qualitative SWAT is to explore and evaluate (1) the impact of ineligibility on patient’s perceptions of themselves, the nature of research and likelihood of
expressing interest in future research studies; (2) methods for enhancing communication with patients about their ineligibility; (3) strategies for enhancing recruitment in research trials, more broadly; and (4) the feasibility of using patient and public involvement (PPI) in the analysis of the resulting qualitative data.
