FIGURE 1
Break down of phone calls and responses. Each of the potential 545 donors were called at least once during the recruitment process. For each round of attempted phone calls, the number of individuals who agreed to donate, declined to donate, and did not respond was documented. This same calling and documentation process was repeated up to four times. The number of subsequent phone calls an individual received was dependent on the recruiter and his/her motivation and persistence. Thus, not all individuals marked as a “no response” received a subsequent call [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
