High-quality fieldwork is the foundation for informed decision-making but collecting reliable and representative data can be a challenge. Best practices are essential to obtaining accurate and actionable data, navigating complex regulatory requirements and delivering trustworthy insights.
The BHBIA is committed to driving industry excellence and providing guidance on fieldwork best practices. Our Fieldwork Committee leads our work in this area.

Screener Design and Best Practice Guide
The guide is intended to act as a reference aid for those designing/implementing screeners to meet their research needs whilst avoiding unnecessary fieldwork complications well ahead of the point of fieldwork going live.
The guide is also designed to act as a safeguard for future respondent engagement. We know as an industry that screeners are one of the key frustrations cited by respondents for lack of MR engagement and that poor design will affect future participation.
Reversing the Decline in HCP Participation
This report reveals the immediate threat that dwindling HCP participation poses to the quality and validity of our findings. We need to act now to ensure the future credibility of our work, and to restore HCPs’ faith in our professionalism.
The report’s recommendations are the culmination of many months work and based on BHBIA-sponsored qualitative and quantitative research amongst HCPs – including active, lapsed, and non-participants.
