Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The approach of the study will be a mixed method, also called a sequential exploratory approach, consisting of a review, desk research, completed with stakeholders interviews in the three countries, qualitative focus group discussions and semi-quantitative large-scale questionnaires. In this study, we are interested in participant*s reasons to decline or accept DSS. First, we want to determine which factors correlate with declining or accepting the test. As these data consider feelings, perceptions and interpretations of different levels, a qualitative approach is most suitable to provide this information. After we have determined discriminating factors of influence, we will perform large-scale questionnaires to determine if these findings are representative for large groups. Therefore a semi-quantitative approach is most applicable.	—
