A management consultancy was assisting a client in Abu Dhabi with a project relating to health insurance for diabetics and patients with other common chronic conditions. We were asked to recruit Emirati patients, ex-pat patients who had lived in Abu Dhabi for at least a year and younger Emiratis who were at risk of contracting diabetes for online interviews. In a later stage of the research, we also recruited Emiratis and Arab ex-pats who had consulted a doctor about diet and nutrition services. Finally, we were asked to run a short survey with diabetic patients living in the UAE to test some concepts that the client was developing.
We were able to meet all of the client’s quota requirements for all three phases of research and ensured that all of the interviews took place as planned. We also provided simultaneous translators for a number of interviews in Arabic and arranged Arabic translation for the quantitative survey.
I want to express my appreciation for the team’s effort on this project. Wanessa, especially, went above and beyond in the past week in communicating with both our team and the researchers on the ground.
