Contact them again by telephone or letter to arrange another appointment. Try to find out why they did not attend. Remember to encourage the participant and explain that their own GP has suggested they take part in the exercise programme. See the Chapter 8, Section: Tips for encouraging adherence. If however, after discussion and multiple failed attempts to contact them or they do not attend, or they wish to withdraw from treatment, please complete a Treatment Withdrawal Form and fax it to the study office as per directions in Chapter 11.
