Below is the 'invitation and information' that I used in the participant recruitment phase of my PhD. I used a purposive snowballing technique to recruit participants, and this ivitation was initially e-mailed to members and associates of the Flinders University, Disaster Research Centre.
Dear ............
I obtained your contact details through your affiliation with the Flinders University, Disaster Research Centre. I wonder if you could assist me in the recruitment of participants for my PhD research? To assist could you circulate this e-mail and the attached ‘invitation and information’ sheet to your colleagues and associates that may be interested in participating?
I wish to recruit nurses who:
• Primarily work as a clinician in a hospital,
• Have participated in the health response and/or recovery to a disaster, in the last five years,
• Responded with a civilian (non-military) organisation, association, group or health service, and
• Worked in the out-of-hospital environment during the disaster.
The attached document outlines additional information about the project such as an overview of the project, the project aim, what participation will involve, information about the researcher and research ethics relating to this project.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish to participate.
Kind Regards,
Jamie
