English

Would somebody please help me with my English?


1- Responders might belong to the group that has experience with the study cases.

2- Not all participating institutions had policies limiting the activities of the detailers, this might contribute to the differences in the study results.

3- The number of responded surveyed and responsed were different. Results of the study might be biased to the center with more surveyed and responded doctors.

4- Also, contact was established by letter and follow up with telephone call 1-2 weeks later. This can reduce as much as non- respondent as possible which can affects the reliability of statistical estimates which may lead to the interpretation bias.


Cheers,

Dean

Either
detailers, which or detailers; this
3- number of responded- responses
with more surveyed and responded doctors- this bit is unclear to me- what do you mean?
4- follow up followed

This can reduce as many non- respondent as possible, which can affect the reliability of statistical estimates, possibly leading to interpretation bias. (does this read better?)

1-How about I chage the sentence to : The number of sample surveyed and responded were different in each center. Results of the study might be biased to the center with more surveyed and responded doctors.

2- Your suggestion is definitely better.

The number of samples surveyed and responded to were different in each center. Results of the study might be biased towards the centers with more doctors surveyed and responding. ???

Tdol,

I am fully in an agreement with your suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Dean

Glad to help- my partner's an non-native speaker epidemiologist, so I have looked at such papers before. ;-)
