Perceptions of complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine: Insights from a large-scale international cross-sectional survey of surgery researchers and clinicians

Implementing a low-cost web-based clinical trial management system for community studies: a case study

“…WebQ is widely used at the University of Washington for conducting research with human subjects including the capture of outcome data [11,12]. The Human Subjects Division maintains a source document regarding Catalyst WebQ that explains how the data are collected and secured [13].…”
