2.4.3. The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Trial
Eligible subjects for all phases of the study consented before enrollment. Since Phase 1 of the study occurred before the COVID-19 pandemic, all focus groups were held in person. All data were de-identified and stored on a secure, password-protected drive, with access only available to the research study team. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to maintain social distance, all procedures in Phase 3 occurred virtually or telephonically.
