Abstract

The objective of this article was to describe the effectiveness of a multifocus recruitment strategy to a pilot project allowing direct provision of emergency contraception (EC) in a community pharmacy through collaborative agreements between pharmacists and physicians. The project recruited pharmacies through direct appeals to pharmacists, pharmacy managers and/or owners, and corporate pharmacy chains. The evaluation project was successful in recruiting sufficient numbers of pharmacies to warrant proceeding with the project. The most successful component of the recruitment strategy was reference to the opportunities that participation offered to expand the pharmacist's role in patient-focused care. The importance of peer influence was also noted in terms of encouraging pharmacy involvement.
