Description of Work ------------------- This WP will carry out the work related to the development of assessment tools for measuring TCAM familiarity and frequency of use, as well as frequency of NAR. The work to be conducted includes: - Organizing focus groups with stakeholders (medical doctors and TCAM practitioners) and summarizing the results. - Doing a literature search on TCAM use and NAR. - Using input from stakeholders, literature review and content analysis (WP1) to inform the development of the instruments. - Creating the initial list of items. - Recruiting participants and collecting the data. - Analyzing the data and selecting the final set of TCAM and NAR items for use in subsequent work packages (WP3 and WP4). - Writing a preprint and submitting it to a journal. - Writing a lay summary of the results.
