ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the important details about the methodology and execution of the two studies, namely National Survey Study, and Intensive Two-Institution Study. In National Survey, some of the data from all of the institutions in the country are collected in which biomedical research on human subjects is done. In Intensive Two-Institution Study, all biomedical researchers engaged in studies using human subjects are interviewed in two institutions chosen by cluster analysis to be representative of a very large number of the institutions in the National Survey sample. To construct a typology of the institutions in the National Survey, the cluster analysis are used. From the National Survey data twenty institutional-level variables were available for elementary linkage analysis. Since many of the questions had been asked of the respondents to the national survey study, the interview schedule went smoothly from the start.
