Welcome - About - Consent
| 12% |
1. WELCOME!
This survey is for dietitians working anywhere across Australia who do any amount of one-on-one weight management counseling. The survey is online, anonymous, and will take you about 20 minutes. If you offer weight management in an acute care hospital during an acute admission, this survey is not for you.
2. DONE THIS SURVEY BEFORE?
This survey is the same survey circulated in Novmber 2011 as part of the MDP Study. If you have completed this survey before, you do not need to do this survey again. However, if you did not complete the survey through all five sections in 2011, we have been unable to use the information you provided. We invite you to complete the survey in this round......but you will have to start from the beginning :( .
3. ABOUT THE SURVEY
This survey explores your dietetic service and practices. For anonymity, you will be asked to create a 6-character study ID which only you will know is yours. The study ID is important for our records should you choose to participate in future research activities.
This survey has 44 questions over five sections, estimated to take 15 to 20 minutes as:
- About you (14 questions)
- About managing your dietetic service (7 questions)
- About the resources available to you (9 questions)
- About the dietetic service offerings (11 questions)
- About current data collection and use (3 questions)
The questions start out as quick and easy, then move into questions requiring a more considered response. There is a reasonable amount of detail being asked from you - please just answer as best you can. Please do not skip questions; we are unable to include incomplete surveys in the analysis.
4. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
If you have more than one physical location, please answer this survey for only your busiest practice location. If you would like to include your other practices, you will need to answer the entire survey for each practice separately. Please use your same 6-character ID, adding a letter at the end of your ID. For example, MVX312; MVX312a; MVX312b....etc
5. WHAT IS THE INFORMATION FROM THE SURVEY BEING USED FOR?
This survey is part of a PhD for the researcher Melanie Voevodin. The aim of the research is to improve the operations of dietetic practices in Australia. Ultimately, we want to develop an electronic system, able to record, analyse, and report a dietitians effectiveness. This survey will capture the intricacies of your practice, and we can then map what dietetic practice looks like as a starting point.
6. CONSENT
By filling in this survey, you are giving your informed consent to participate. This survey is anonymous, and the results will be reported in a way that will not reveal you, your organisation, or your location. You do not have to fill in this survey if you do not want to.

We are happy to receive any feedback or comments on the survey. You can do this in the comment box at the end of the survey (and yes, this is anonymous).
