Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The protocol is an opt-in survey to be completed online via SurveyMonkey. The questions have been developed specifically for both end-user groups by the investigators. The Group 1 survey contains a validated survey (WaLIDD score, Teheran et al. 2018; these questions can be viewed in the updated survey Q11-14). Alyra Biotech wishes to develop an optimal intrauterine contraceptive device, otherwise known as IUCDs, for young women with period or pelvic pain. We wish to determine the priorities of two end-user groups: Group 1) women who choose or are considering choosing an IUCD for contraception, and Group 2) health professionals who offer IUCD insertion to patients. The surveys are anticipated to take participants an average of 20 minutes (Group 1) and 10 minutes (Group 2). We wish to research the experiences, perspectives and preferences of both end-user groups to assist us in planning an optimal device for women with pain. The views and experiences of our end user groups will guide our product development. Finally, to ensure that our product is commercially feasible, we wish to determine the cost premium that users, or prescribers, of the device would accept for such a device. As we are targeting two end-user groups, the surveys will be suited to either patients or a health professional who offer IUCD insertion to patients.
