'Getting people to participate in your research: Reflections and learning from ‘Truck-Fit’ recruitment' by A/Prof Nick Gilson from the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences. This presentation will review the strategies currently being used to recruit drivers into the ‘Truck-Fit’ program. Content will reflect on the practical and considerable challenges researchers face in ‘selling’ intervention study participation to hard-to-reach groups.

Shelley will present findings from her current research study examining whether HIIT is safe, achievable and effective in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, obesity and co-morbid type 2 diabetes.
