Joint Pain Survey

I decided to start with a survey of what people here, think, feel, see, and say about joint pain.

Instead of conducting a typical orthopedic survey, I choose to use a different research strategy that will help people:

1 Ask better questions, and

2 Improve decision-making strategies.

Do we (bone and joint specialists) understand what our communities think about joint pain?

How might we better understand public opinion on joint pain?

Can we use what we learn from the community to become more effective community educators?

Question Formulation Technique (QFT)

To accomplish this, questions from 100 community guests will be collected using the question formulation technique. Questions will be used to create better education material that fit the needs of our community.

The Question Formulation Technique includes the following steps:

Design a question focus.

Produce questions.

Work with closed-ended and open-ended questions.

Prioritize questions.

Plan next steps.

Reflect.
