Challenges
Variations in project specifications led to multiple challenges during fieldwork.
- Niche audience: Targeted Medical & Gynaecological Oncologists, representing a small subset (~1.5%) of active physicians in the USA.
- Modules qualification: Initial expectation was for respondents to qualify for two modules each. In reality, most respondents only qualified for one module.
- Drop in incidence rate (IR): The in-field incidence rate dropped by about one-third compared to the quoted IR.
- Quota limitations: Interlocking quotas required securing 20 Gynaecological Oncologists per module. Custom recruitment efforts were necessary to achieve this.
- Survey programming iterations: Multiple adjustments in survey design caused delays in the fieldwork launch. High dropout rate: Over 50 qualified respondents dropped out before completing all modules.
