Excerpt

Kaylee Eady and Katherine Moreau’s [1] article in this issue raises a number of complex, interconnected issues. It is not uncommon for research to report people’s perceptions about what they might do, rather than what they actually do. Indeed, this perspective is noted as a limitation to their study by the authors themselves:
This study described residents’ and physician-educators’ perceptions of how they would use parent feedback, and does not report descriptions of their actual use of this feedback.’ (My emphases).
