Fieldwork

The 6th wave of interviews was completed in 2010 and the PADS+ team are proceeding with post-fieldwork activities such as cleaning and collating all data, and updating the PADS+ database. Alongside this, the team are commencing a mini sweep to ensure we hold up-to-date contact details for all PADS+ participants. Information obtained from this mini sweep will be greatly valuable for the next wave of interviews, which will take place in early 2012.
