Making the Most of CERA Studies: How to Develop Excellent Survey Research in Academic Family Medicine

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to enhance the quality of survey research within the Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) by addressing common pitfalls in survey design and implementation. They propose a theoretical model that links the research question, hypothesis, survey questions, and analytic plan to improve the effectiveness and response rates of CERA surveys. This guidance is intended to support family medicine scholars in developing robust and relevant survey research.
