B. Collection of Information Employing Statistical Methods

Respondents to the online screener are identified through a recruitment firm via a database of individuals who are grouped by the audience and medical specialty. Individuals who agree to provide additional feedback will be selected for interviews based on the screener inclusion/exclusion criteria. There are sampling methods that involve an estimation of the number of respondents.

B.1 Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods

In the table below, the ‘Respondent Universe’ column represents the total number of potential respondents, by specialty, in the recruiting firm’s database. It is estimated that approximately 1,149 respondents will complete the screener and agree to an interview (Table B.1-1).

* Depending on the specific specialty of the non-oncologist clinician

** Average response rate provided by research partner

*** Estimate based on universe and average anticipated response rate

**** Medical Directors and Navigators will be recruited from an unquantified pool of people through a partnership with the recruiting company

The respondents who meet the screening criteria and agree to an interview will be arbitrarily chosen from the pool of possible candidates. Interviewees will be selected from the pool of respondents who have completed the screener and qualify for recruitment based on an agreed upon set of criteria. The recruiting firm, based on these criteria and the availability of each potential interviewee, will then select the appropriate number and mix of interviewees from that eligible pool. It is that the minimum number of acceptable interviews will be 51 and the maximum acceptable interviews would be 65 (Table B.1-2).

B.1-2 Minimum and Maximum Acceptable Respondent Numbers for Structured Interview
