An International Study of the Ability and Cost-Effectiveness of Advertising Methods to Facilitate Study Participant Self-Enrolment Into a Pilot Pharmacovigilance Study During Early Pregnancy

Knowledge of the fetal effects of maternal medication use in pregnancy is often inadequate and current pregnancy pharmacovigilance (PV) surveillance methods have important limitations. Patient self-reporting may be able to mitigate some of these limitations, providing an adequately sized study sample can be recruited.To compare the ability and cost-effectiveness of several direct-to-participant advertising methods for the recruitment of pregnant participants into a study of self-reported gestational exposures and pregnancy outcomes.The Pharmacoepidemiological Research on Outcomes of Therapeutics by a European Consortium (PROTECT) pregnancy study is a non-interventional, prospective pilot study of self-reported medication use and obstetric outcomes provided by a cohort of pregnant women that was conducted in Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom. Direct-to-participant advertisements were provided via websites, emails, leaflets, television, and social media platforms.Over a 70-week recruitment period direct-to-participant advertisements engaged 43,234 individuals with the study website or telephone system; 4.78% (2065/43,234) of which were successfully enrolled and provided study data. Of these 90.4% (1867/2065) were recruited via paid advertising methods, 23.0% (475/2065) of whom were in the first trimester of pregnancy. The overall costs per active recruited participant were lowest for email (€23.24) and website (€24.41) advertisements and highest for leaflet (€83.14) and television (€100.89). Website adverts were substantially superior in their ability to recruit participants during their first trimester of pregnancy (317/668, 47.5%) in comparison with other advertising methods (P<.001). However, we identified international variations in both the cost-effectiveness of the various advertisement methods used and in their ability to recruit participants in early pregnancy.Recruitment of a pregnant cohort using direct-to-participant advertisement methods is feasible, but the total costs incurred are not insubstantial. Future research is needed to identify advertising strategies capable of recruiting large numbers of demographically representative pregnant women, preferentially in early pregnancy

E-recruitment: Towards an ubiquitous recruitment process and candidate relationship management

Up to now, there has been little research on the impact of e-recruitment on the recruitment process as a whole. The present study fills part of this gap by investigating the effect of e-recruitment on the design of the recruitment process. Three explorative case studies were carried out in three large organisations in Denmark in 2008-2010. The findings indicate that e-recruitment transforms the traditional recruitment process into a time- and space-independent, collaborative hiring process. The most significant changes are recorded in the sequence and increased divisibility of main recruitment tasks and subtasks. For management, the main task is now that of communicating with candidates. In addition, a new on-going task of maintaining a corporate career website has become an integral part of the new recruitment process. The new design is presented in the following, and its implications briefly discussed.Bis heute wurden die Auswirkungen von E-Recruiting auf den gesamten Rekrutierungsprozess wenig erforscht. Die vorliegende Studie zielt darauf ab, diese Forschungslücke durch die Untersuchung der Auswirkung von E-Recruiting auf die Gestaltung des Rekrutierungsprozesses teilweise zu schließen. Der Beitrag basiert dabei auf drei explorativen Fallstudien in drei großen dänischen Organisationen in den Jahren 2008-2010. Die Ergebnisse lassen darauf schließen, dass E-Recruiting den traditionellen Rekrutierungsprozess in einen zeit- und raumunabhängigen, kollaborativen Prozess transformiert. Dies stellt sich insbesondere in der Modifikation der Aufgabenabfolge und der erhöhten Teilbarkeit der Rekrutierungsaufgaben heraus. Zudem ist hervorzuheben, dass sich die Kommunikation mit den Bewerbern als eine zentrale neue Managementaufgabe herausbildet. Darüber hinaus bildet die permanente Pflege der Karriere-Website einen integralen Teil des neuen Rekrutierungsprozesses. Damit stellt dieser Beitrag generell die technologische Neugestaltung von Rekrutierungsprozessen vor und diskutiert deren Auswirkungen

Rancang Bangun Administrative Workflow System Rekrutmen dan Seleksi pada STIKOM Surabaya

The process of recruitment and selection in STIKOM Surabaya which depends on hard copy based processing, is having 4 (four) potential risks found in its administrative process, namely: Storage requirement, Extensive resources to file and search for documents, security risk, and Delay risk. To reduce or avoid such risks mentioned above, a website will be developed as a solution that comes with the ability to store document files in order to keep unauthorized parties from accessing the applicant\u27s documents, thus solving the storage requirement risk. the website will also implement administrative workflow system to direct the process or task to authorized and correct people, to keep recruitment and selection process run as usual, despite the use of paper is eliminated. based on the test result, the developed product already can solve risks mentioned above, but must be developed again on several things, such as design of the web, and the improvement of the product\u27s functions

The Plain Talk Implementation Guide

Public/Private Ventures' cross-site evaluation determined that the Plain Talk framework enabled communities to change the ways adults communicated with teens. It also showed that youth in Plain Talk communities who talked to adults were less likely to have an STD or a pregnancy. These results confirmed the validity of three basic Plain Talk components: Community Mapping, Walkers and Talkers, and Home Health Parties
