Data Collection- General Collection Methods

Risks to participants in research studies are well known and documented, however another risk to be considered in your research is the risk to the researcher while undertaking data collection in the field. This is particularly relevant for rural, regional and remote clinician researchers. Ranging from weather events to mobile technology coverage, the risks are varied and should be assessed prior to data collection. This template, although designed for use in the UK, is relevant wherever your research takes you.
