Case studies begin
Case studies begin
We continue to make arrangements with our case-study sites across the country. The reality of doing this kind of research involves a lot of checks and balances and paperwork, which takes time. We have an agreement in place with our first site and are scheduling our site-initiation visit staff and our researchers to introduce themselves. We will then begin observing the day-to-day workings of SDEC, and identifying staff and patients to follow-up with via interviews.

Wrestling with data-quality issues
Wrestling with data-quality issues
Another reality of this kind of research is assessing and circumventing issues with the quality of the data we are given access to. We have been having frank assessments about the extent to which the data is sufficient to help us answer our questions. This has also involved learning about how the use of SDEC has been recorded over the years. Our updated plans for analysis are now better suited to the kind of SDEC data being produce routinely.
