“…The care staff in this study suggested that it would be helpful to tailor information to the differing needs of potential participants. Although researchers, aiming to recruit people with intellectual disabilities, often develop and use accessible materials and approaches (Durand et al., ; Goodwin, Mason, Williams, & Townsley, ; Kidney & McDonald, ; Lewis, ,b), the present study emphasises the importance of considering the needs of the individual and using the most appropriate format of information, rather than using the same study materials with all potential participants. This may require discussing the project with people from the proposed patient/carer population, prior to the ethics submission, to plan appropriate research material and recruitment of potential participants.…”
