“…Interviewers were from qualitative ( n = 13), social science ( n = 2), medical ( n = 1), or local trial staff ( n = 1) backgrounds; ten studies did not specify the professional background of the interviewers. Among the studies retrieved, 11 followed a longitudinal design with entry/baseline and/or intermediate and/or exit interviews ( 12 , 22 – 26 , 29 , 30 , 33 , 36 , 37 ), seven were exit interviews only ( 13 , 16 , 21 , 28 , 31 , 34 , 35 ), two were entry interviews only ( 14 , 26 ) and seven did not specify the interview time point. The interviews were embedded in phase 2 studies ( n = 10), phase 2/3 ( n = 1), phase 3 ( n = 5), phase 4 ( n = 1), in studies where the phase was not applicable ( n = 7) or not specified ( n = 3).…”
