- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome of the SWAT was the proportion of responders. Responders were defined as those who either (a) completed and returned a survey (i.e., participants) or (b) did not complete and return the survey but did complete and return a form that had been included with the survey on which individuals could indicate their ineligibility for the study due to having never been on active surveillance (Never on Active Surveillance” form). Packages returned to sender and returned blank questionnaires were not counted as responses.[at 1 month after mail-out of study materials. ]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary outcome of the SWAT was differences in demographic variables in responders within each incentive group. This self-reported information was sourced from the completed surveys (marital status, employment status, and education level) and the registry (postcode, diagnosis information, and age).[In analysis (response cut off 1 month after study material mail-out). ]
