Qualitative Observational Survey
What is the qualitative observational study?
The nAMD Barometer Leadership Coalition have initiated a qualitative, observational study, with multi-dimensional analysis to:
- Understand patient-, physician- and caregiver-specific drivers of low treatment adherence and persistence
- Identify areas of alignment and divergence between stakeholders
- Generate hypotheses as the basis of developing relevant and meaningful interventions to elicit changes in patient behaviour and clinical practice
Patient, physician and caregiver interviews are currently being conducted:
Physicians will be asked about their patients’ characteristics, medical history, knowledge about nAMD and attitudes/behaviour whilst receiving treatment. Physicians will also be asked about any patient support programmes that they may have recommended to their patients.
Patients and caregivers will be asked about the information that they received from the treating physician, whether the results of treatment matched their expectations, how nAMD impacts them/the patient they care for, and their attitudes to attending treatment and monitoring visits.
We will update you with the outcomes of this exciting initiative as soon as possible!
