is the National Veterinary
Disease and Therapeutic
Study?
|
|
| National
Veterinary Disease
and Therapeutic Study
(NVDTS) is a paid
biannual research
study that provides
a snapshot of veterinary
diagnoses, procedures
and therapeutic regimens
in the continental
United States. The
study consists of
two parts: first,
a log of small animal
vaccinations and heartworm
preventatives and
second, patient medical
or surgical case forms.
Data from 2-5 consecutive
days of veterinary
clinic activity are
collected every 6
months in the NVDTS
booklet and then mailed
to us, postage-paid.
The honorarium is
based on the number
of usable cases per
booklet and usually
ranges from $35.00
to $100.00. |

Participant
Satisfaction:
| As
a research company, of course
we performed research to
determine how our panelists
feel about participation
in VR research. The results
of this study indicate that
most participate because
they want to do research
that benefits their industry
or value research participation.
Over 90% of our participants
felt that we valued their
participation and were satisfied
with their relationship
with us. Many of these clinics
were willing to be references
for us with other potential
study participants. We have
been in this industry for
over 20 years and over that
time thousands of clinics
have trusted us with their
data. You can trust your

FAQs:
Q:
Why do you need this information?
How is this information
useful?
A: For example, the emerging
disease, Dry Eye, was identified
and tracked with this data,
which helped
to facilitate new treatments
for this condition. Your
participation benefits the
animal healthcare
industry and ultimately,
your patients. That is why
we value your participation.
Q: What
types of information are
you interested in?
A: vaccinations and preventatives,
nutritionals, prescriptions
and surgical cases.
Q: What
if the veterinarian doesn’t
have time to complete the
study?
A: Although the veterinarian
can complete the study,
at many clinics the vet
delegates this task to
another member of the clinic.
Often this person receives
the honorarium, with the
approval of
the clinic.

What if the vet doesn’t
want me to do it on job
time?
A: Some clinic personnel
complete the study on lunch
or break or other off-the-job
times.
