Study design details

Main study objective

This primary study objective is to evaluate the impact of the risk minimisation measures on HCP and patient understanding regarding the risk of hypoglycaemia and/or hyperglycaemia due to medication errors associated with administration of Humalog KwikPen 200 units/ml as communicated through the risk minimisation measures.

Outcomes

The risk minimisation tools will be considered effective if the majority of respondents demonstrate they are aware of the key risks communicated.

Data analysis plan

Data collected from the survey will be reported as descriptive statistics. Frequency distributions with 95% CIs will be calculated for respondent responses to all questions that address the survey objectives.In addition to the overall analysis, survey data will be analysed to determine if there are any differences by country and, for HCPs, medical specialty.
