There's a catch if clerical staff lack the clinical background and EDC training, so B C D.
Not sure why A isn't right here. Clerical personnel could handle entry to cut down workload, so A.
Always with the idea that "anyone can do data entry"... but in real studies, that's not how it works. Clinical background and EDC/platform training matter, so A just sounds off base to me. On practice sets I’ve seen, B, C and D get picked for this reason.
B C D tbh. A feels off because just minimal training isn’t enough, you need someone who understands the actual clinical data. Not 100 percent sure but I think B C D fits better here.
B C D tbh. Data entry isn’t just typing-EDC training (C) is a must, and study coordinators usually have the clinical background (B, D). Pretty sure A misses that site staff need real study experience too.
A is wrong, C. Had something like this in a mock and C stuck out since EDC system training is always required for whoever does entry, even if they're not clinical staff.
B C, D. No way clerical staff alone covers all the site data entry needs, clinical and study-specific knowledge is critical here.
Not as simple as just hiring clerical staff for data entry. You really need someone with clinical or research background (B, D) and proper training on the EDC system (C). Saw a similar question on a practice test. Agree?
Be respectful. No spam.
