De-identified survey response dataset for: "Multidisciplinary Exploratory Survey: Initial Insights into Biologic Drug Handling and Regulatory Perspectives Among Healthcare Professionals"
https://doi.org/10.57804/kvv4-wp13
This dataset contains de-identified responses from an exploratory cross-sectional survey on biologic drug handling, information sources, and regulatory perspectives among healthcare professionals (final analysed sample: n=35). The dataset includes one row per respondent and variables covering respondent category (professional role group) and broad geographic region, as well as coded answers to the 16 survey questions (Likert-scale items and multiple-choice responses).
Identifiers (e.g., names, email addresses, workplaces, free-text fields) have been removed. Geographic information and role categories are provided in aggregated form to reduce indirect identifiability.
The deposit includes: (1) the response dataset (CSV), (2) a data dictionary describing variable names, question wording, response options and coding, and (3) the survey instrument (PDF) as distributed. The files can be opened with standard spreadsheet software; no specialized software is required.

Population:
Healthcare professionals and related experts involved in the handling, preparation, delivery, development, teaching, or regulation of biologic drugs, primarily in hospital and clinical contexts. The intended population spans multiple professional roles, including pharmacists, doctors/nurses, drug developers, and academics/educators. The realized sample in this dataset is an exploratory convenience/snowball sample (n=35), predominantly based in Europe (EU/EFTA/UK) with additional respondents from the US and other regions.

Description of study design:
Exploratory cross-sectional survey study. Data were collected once using a structured questionnaire (16 items; Likert-scale and multiple-choice questions) administered online. Participation was voluntary and anonymous; recruitment used convenience and snowball sampling via professional networks and outreach channels. The final dataset comprises 35 valid responses. Responses are self-reported and represent a snapshot in time, with no longitudinal follow-up.
