TL;DR
Researchers should consider the impact of diverse sampling and recruitment strategies on participation levels and increase reporting of ethical and recruitment processes in order to facilitate future reviews and meta-analyses.
Abstract
Researchers should consider the impact of diverse sampling and recruitment strategies on participation levels. Participants should be informed that there is little evidence that recording consultations negatively affects their content or the decisions made. Researchers should increase reporting of ethical and recruitment processes in order to facilitate future reviews and meta-analyses.
