“…We performed an online cross‐sectional study focused on recent life stressors, emotional distress, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors using Qualtrics Panels, an online survey platform that maintains a database of several million U.S. residents who have volunteered to participate in periodic survey‐based research. Because of their efficiency, online survey panels have been used with increased frequency to obtain general population samples for health‐related and social research (Cheng, 2015; DeVylder et al, 2018; Jensen et al, 2016; Johnson, Harkins, Cary, Sankar, & Karlawish, 2015; Tinghög et al, 2013). Qualtrics Panels uses quota sampling methods to identify participants meeting each study’s eligibility criteria, with a target to recruit a sample that was demographically similar to 2010 U.S. census distributions for age, sex, and race/ethnicity (±10%).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify leading sources of stress, describe rates of mental health outcomes, and examine their associations among U.S. adults during the first months of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Method In a cross‐sectional, general population survey conducted from March 18 to April 4, 2020, U.S. adults (n=10,625) were recruited through Qualtrics Panels using quota sampling methods. Results Life stressors, probable depression, past‐month suicide ideation, and past‐month suicide attempts were not elevated among participants subject to state‐level stay‐at‐home orders and/or large gatherings bans. Multiple life stressors were associated with increased rates of probable depression. Past‐month suicide ideation was significantly higher among participants reporting ongoing arguments with a partner and serious legal problems. Past‐month suicide attempt was significantly higher among participants reporting concerns about a life‐threatening illness or injury, but was significantly lower among participants reporting an unexpected bill or expense. Conclusions Results failed to support the conclusion that physical distancing measures are correlated with worse mental health outcomes. Concerns about life‐threatening illness or injury was uniquely associated with increased risk of suicide attempt.

“…Adults (18+) were recruited from the previously indicated four cities through Qualtrics Panels, an online survey administration service. Qualtrics maintains a database of several million US residents that have previously consented to periodic participation in survey research, which has increasingly been used in epidemiological research (e.g., Tinghög et al 2013; Cheng, 2015; Johnson et al 2015; Jensen et al 2016). Sampling was conducted by Qualtrics with the aim of achieving demographic representativeness of civilians residing within city limits, such that the total sample for each city would fall within +/− 10% of 2010 census distributions of age, sex and race/ethnicity.…”

“…18 A variety of previously conducted studies have recruited participants using quota sampling from Qualtrics panels. [19][20][21] Despite the similarity in demographics of our sample compared to the U.S. census, respondents in the present study may have differed in other unmeasured characteristics. Additionally, we could not calculate the response rate because the Qualtrics platform uses its panel to recruit respondents, and the research team is only provided with information on participants who completed the questionnaire.…”

Physician assistants (PAs) must pass the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) certification exam to become licensed; and to remain certified, they must earn continuing medical education credits as well as pass an assessment every 10 years. However, there is a dearth of research on public knowledge of and beliefs regarding licensure, certification and medical education of PAs. Thus, we examined public knowledge and beliefs by conducting an online survey in late 2018. When asked if the statement “PAs must pass a national certifying exam as one requirement for obtaining an initial license to practice medicine” was true or false, the majority (75.9%) correctly indicated that the statement is true. Regarding beliefs, most respondents strongly agreed or agreed that PAs should be licensed by state medical boards (87.6%), should continually learn about new medical information (91.7%), should be assessed regularly on their medical knowledge (82.0%), should be held to the same standards of care as physicians (78.6%) and should be well-educated in medicine (77.7%). Evaluation of public knowledge and beliefs about licensure, certification and medical education of PAs is important, as members of the public are vital stakeholders for certification organizations and medical regulatory bodies. Certification organizations and medical regulatory bodies are accountable to the public, and periodic assessment of public perspectives can provide insight and help inform decision-making regarding regulatory and certification changes to meet patient expectations regarding safe, high-quality medical care.
