Evaluating the usefulness of a research register for recruiting participants | C4C

This project is an evaluation of SLaM Consent for Contact (C4C), a research register designed to enable service users and researchers to connect with each other, whilst potentially reducing the burden on clinical staff (who may otherwise spend time asking service users whether they want to participate in research). The SLaM C4C model has been generated through extensive consultation with service users and other stakeholders. Additionally, a pilot study harnessed the views of service users and clinicians on the best ways of inviting service users to participate in the register. There are now approximately 5700 people on the C4C register, and researchers are currently using it to contact potential participants (based on their clinical record information). We wish to search the ‘research consent’ section of PJS to establish the number of approaches and number of positive or negative recruitments within the approaches for anyone that has been contacted
