Dissemination of the questionnaire
The intention was to send the questionnaire to all physicians
responsible for the care of women with pregnancy complicated
by diabetes. With this aim in mind, the SED and SEEN
were contacted, and these organizations sent to all their
active members, by electronic mail, an invitation to participate
in the study along with an electronic link to the
website where the questionnaire could be found. The email
specified that only one questionnaire per center should be
completed, and that it was important to answer regardless
of the complexity of care and of how it was being provided to
pregnant women with diabetes. It was sent in October 2014
to all SED members, and in December 2014 to SEEN members.
The questionnaire was closed on February 15, 2015.
The authors did not make direct contact with any potential
responder.
