    Dear Terry

    I hope that you get the answers you are after. Perhaps if you provided very explicit details of every way you intend to use the data people may be more willing to respond. Given your commercial background potential respondents may need guaranteed assurance that you are not going to use this data for any specific commercial purpose or to inform any one medical device manufacturer. The information you gain will be valuable to medical device manufacturers and policy makers alike. Would you consider guaranteeing simultaneous release of aggregate data to the public domain? Again, this may reassure potential contributors.

    At a more strategic level the ongoing problem of low response rates and difficulty identifying and contacting those specifically responsible for infection prevention in Australian healthcare organisations is problematic. In 1997 when I did my PhD I achieved a remarkable 76% or thereabouts response rates. The last few surveys I have seen use this list in the last 2 years as a proxy gateway to ICPs have achieved very poor response rates in comparison. In fact most would not rate as publishable and the data is inherently limited in value and generalisability.

    I would welcome discussion and opportunity to better understand what impedes Aussie ICPs from contributing and what individual researchers and ACIPC could do, or do better to help improve overall response rates. Compared to international surveys we perform very badly in terms of response and it is retarding Australias ability to rightly showcase great work done here.

    Regards and good luck
    Cath
