1. In this survey new medicine is defined as a medicine that will available for doctors to prescribe or already available for doctors to prescribe for a period of not more 24 months. Old medicine is referred to a medicine that already available for doctors to prescribe for a period of more than 24 months.

2. What is your overall comment regarding the discussion?

3. On a scale of 0 to 10, please rate the quality of the discussion? (10 is high and 0 is low, please choose one). Please indicate your assessment by circling one of the points on the scale below.

Hi Julielai,

Thanks for your comments. I really aprreciate that. I did not put the sentences in order. I fully in agreement with your statement that the question on the overall comment should be in the last.

For the sentence number three, I have changed to :

Please rate the quality of the discussion. Please indicate your assessment by ticking the appriate box.

Please rate the quality of the discussion in terms of what?. Please indicate your assessment by ticking the appriate box.

I suggest you do something like:

Please rate the quality of the discussion in terms of the following criteria, with 10 being ___, and 1 being ____.

Criteria A: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Criteria B:
