Survey Results on Challenges Faced by Primary Care Research Trainees

69 survey responses from primary care research trainees across four countries were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The data, authored by K. Taylor Bosworth and last updated in May 2026, includes quantitative results and 66 quotes coded into nine overarching themes. Themes include mentorship, funding, time constraints, and institutional limitations.

Use Cases

• Analyzing barriers to research training based on the nine identified themes like mentorship and funding
• Comparing trainee challenges across different countries based on responses from the United States, Netherlands, Canada, and Uganda
• Developing support strategies for trainees based on qualitative quotes about time and institutional limitations

Strengths

• 69 survey responses provide a basis for quantitative analysis
• 66 quotes from 29 participants offer qualitative depth for thematic analysis
• Responses cover trainees from four countries, providing some geographic diversity

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small at 9.7 KB, indicating limited scope
