Surveys
As a benefit of CAG membership, we are pleased to offer the service of posting surveys from members with the goal of assisting with distribution and response levels.
Please note that the CAG is not responsible for the content contained within, nor the development process taken, in designing and developing these surveys (including ensuring that proper ethical protocols have been followed).
All surveys are, however, reviewed briefly by the CAG National Office and Practice Affairs Chair to ensure the following:
- One member of the survey submission team to be a CAG member
- Survey should be focused on a key topic addressing significant variations in practice.
- Survey should not be prohibitively long in length (nor duration of time to fill out) – will most definitely limit response rate.
- Survey may not be branded with the CAG logo, unless it has been developed by an internal CAG Committee.
In order to move forward with your survey request we will need:
- Survey Title
- Word/PDF document version of the survey for review
- Link(s) to the survey
- Estimated time to complete the survey
- Close date of the survey
Please allow 1-2 weeks for the survey request to be reviewed and posted.
Current Surveys
Exploring Clinician Perceptions of IBD and Fertility Study
Dr. Vivian Huang – Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
We’re interested in hearing from gastroenterologists who care for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are pregnant or planning to conceive. Due to limited data on how Canadian specialists approach IBD in the context of fertility and pregnancy, this study aims to better understand current knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices related to managing IBD during the reproductive years.
Time Commitment: 7-10 minutes
Intestinal Ultrasound in North and Central America
Dr. Carla Nash - iUSCAN Clinical Committee Co-Chair | Kelowna General Hospital, British Columbia, Canada
iUSCAN invites you to take part in this research study because you care for patients with gastrointestinal conditions and/or have an interest or experience in intestinal ultrasound.
The goal of this study is to better understand interest in intestinal ultrasound, explore barriers to its adoption, and learn from the experiences and current practices of those using this imaging tool.
Time Commitment: 5-10 minutes
Assessing the Pre-Test Probability of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Dr. Laura Targownik, Dr. Grace Wang – Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
We are seeking the participation of gastroenterologists and gastroenterology trainees practicing in the United States of America and Canada to participate in a study aimed at understanding how physicians assess the likelihood of IBD in patients referred with ambiguous gastrointestinal symptoms. You will be asked the following:
- Complete a demographics questionnaire about yourself and your practice (1 minute)
- Review a hypothetical patient referral to a gastroenterologist (2-3 minutes)
- Estimate the likelihood of the hypothetical patient having IBD (1 minute)
Time Commitment: 5 minutes
