Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Prevalence of key factors that influence decision-making in relation to adopting Renal Tumour Biopsy (RTB), and the applicability and preferences for a range of potential solutions measured using interviews and questionnaires at a single timepoint. Interviews will be transcribed verbatim and coded using Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (i.e. NVivo). Braun and Clarke’s model of thematic analysis with a six-phase approach will be used to generate, review, and define themes within the interview transcripts. Data will be extracted from the online and paper questionnaires and entered into statistical analysis software (i.e. SPSS). The analysis will comprise of both descriptive data (mean and standard deviation/median and interquartile range as appropriate) and inferential statistics, where we will examine whether the prevalence of influences and preference for potential solutions differ between participant groups and according to demographic variables.
