Watch videoEPI Uncovered is based on an online survey conducted by Harris Poll from May 17 through June 20, 2016. It included 1,001 U.S. adults ages 18 and older who experienced at least two gastrointestinal issues, three or more times in the past three months (“patients”), as well as 250 primary care physicians (“PCPs”) and 250 gastroenterologists (“GIs”) in the U.S. who are ages 18 years or older and licensed. Figures for patients were weighted where necessary based on age, education, gender, race/ethnicity, region, income, size of household, marital status, and likelihood to be online to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Figures for PCPs and GIs were weighted on years in practice, gender and region, where necessary, to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population.
