Description:
This is a self-report survey utilizing a voluntary, non-probability sampling design. The
survey instrument will be created in Google Survey© consisting of yes/no, multiple choice and
free text response questions. This survey instrument questions have been developed
empirically by the investigators.
It will be distributed to all gastroenterology fellowship coordinators through an email
listserv maintained by programs nationwide for the purpose of communicating with their
trainees. The email will include instructions to share the survey link (Appendix 2) with all
first/second/third year as well as all advanced gastroenterology fellow s in their programs.
The survey will be disseminated over a 2 week period. The fellowship coordinator will receive
three separate emails. The first email (Appendix 2) will be on opening day of the survey
requesting them to forward the link to their fellows. The second email (Appendix 3) will be
sent on day 8 of the study period serving as a reminder to participate in the survey with
link once again attached. The final email (Appendix 4) will be distributed on day 14 of the
study period serving as a final reminder for fellows to complete the survey if they have not
already and that the survey will close at midnight. The link will have both the informed
consent form and the survey. Participants must press a key indicating agreement to get past
the consent to the survey. The survey will take less than 2 minutes to complete
electronically. This will be an anonymous survey and will be distributed via a secure online
platform.
The results will be compiled using Google Survey© software. No personal identifying
information will be included.
