Six different physician types were assessed (pediatric cardiologists, pediatric intensivists, geneticists, pediatric neurologists, muscular specialists, ad pediatricians) using one online study customized to each physician group. Qessential handled survey design, recruitment, data tabulation, and final analysis, including extrapolation of data to the population and crosstabulations.

Results. A total of 170 surveys were completed, allowing the company to better understand the genetic disorder treatment in the United States as well as learn the best ways to develop messaging for physicians treating people with the disorder.
