Progress report.
Sep. 25th, 2002 08:58 pmSubjects scheduled to be run today: 4
Subjects run today: 3 (19 to go)
Flaky no-show subjects rescheduled today: 1
New subjects recruited today: 0 (9 to go)
Other accomplishments today: I met with the head of the Pediatrics department, and wow did he come through for me. A member of his department is going to go through the daily schedules and flag all the patients eligible for inclusion in my study. She'll approach each parent, find out if they're interested in hearing more about the study, and fax me their contact information at the end of each day. And she'll start tomorrow. ("Sorry we couldn't start this afternoon. I hope that's okay.")
I had been thinking that I would have to go over to Peds and recruit myself - I can't even begin to express how much this helps.
Also today: Reading articles. Copying 15 new measure packets. Questionnaire scoring. Lunch with one of my former professors and clinic supervisors, mostly discussing research. She said something that utterly croggled me: "When I'm supervising a cognitive-behavioral therapy case, I still ask myself 'what would Rebecca Wald say in this situation?'" Huh. Okay, I knew I was good at it, and two of the cases she supervised me on were unusual successes. But... jeez.
