"When the study moved online, we became much more reliant on online recruitment and data collection techniques. It went from just a few individuals per day to hundreds overnight. It's implausible in a small rural town that several hundred people would enroll in our study all in one night."
"We knew basic techniques, but none of them focus on rural areas specifically. Some needed to be adapted to our population."
"To have a representative sample that was economically diverse, we needed to adapt that limitation."
"After using automated tools, Hanson and colleagues turned to manual techniques, checking all submitted addresses against a postal database. It was very time-consuming, but necessary to ensure validity."
