Selected constructs of the domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and the Theoretical Domains Framework helped to develop interview questions and raise awareness of important elements during interviews and thematic analyses. GANC facilitators working in multidisciplinary PCOs located in Brussels and Flanders (Belgium) were invited to participate in an interview. We purposively selected participants because of their role as GANC facilitators and recruiters. We recruited GANC facilitators up until data saturation and no new elements emerged.

Depending on the phase, determinants at the level of the woman, recruiter, organisation or environment have an influence on the recruitment behaviour. CONCLUSION: Our study concludes that it takes two to tango for successful recruitment for GANC. Potential participants' needs and wishes are of i...
