Concept Mapping as a Scalable Method for Identifying Patient-Important Outcomes

Completed

Conditions studied: Concept Mapping Versus Interviews

In brief

The goal of this study is to improve the methods with which researchers identify patient centered outcomes for use in research. Specifically, the investigators will test the application of concept mapping as compared to one-on-one interviews as a comprehensive and efficient method of identifying patient-important outcomes for use in research.
