Group
B: A Micro data collection phase involved a
survey
and interviews with migrant health professionals
and
students who were identified via two State-level
Health
Department databases. These Departments sent out
an
email notice on behalf of the researchers asking for
volunteers
to be involved. There were seventy-nine
respondents
to this baseline survey, of which 35 agreed
to
participate in an in-depth structured interview which
was
conducted both via telephone and face to face. Prior to
the
interview, a structured survey form was prepared with
both
closed-ended and open-ended questions. Comments
from
the interviewee were written on the form, which was
then
manually input into survey collection software in
preparation
for analysis.
