Project Background
A Qualitative study about the treatment, prescription and use of Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis (PMO) in Ireland. PMO is a relatively common disease with symptoms that range from bones density loss to disabling fractures. This study aimed to understand medical professional’s attitudes to the various methods of treatment for PMO. The challenge in this case was the recruitment of a diverse group of medical professionals. For this project iReach.global recruited Focus Groups of medical specialists comprising of Consultants and Focus Groups of GP ’s to take part in this global research project.
Methodology
iReach.global ran this Qualitative study on Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis covering Consultants and Medical Specialists that deal with PMO including GP ’s, Rheumatologists, Geriatricians, and Endocrinologists. We conducted intensive Focus Groups with four participants in each group which centred on the treatment procedure used by Specialists and GP’s for PMO patients and also focused on discussing new treatments.
Insights
