ExpressAgain research: the questions and the method

ExpressAgain plans five studies of what families, home care professionals and practices go through around one patient. No data has been collected yet, so there are no findings to quote. Each study below has its own page, where its findings will be published with the sample size and margin of error beside every number.

  1. Study 1

    How many hours a week do family members spend coordinating care?

How every study works

Every study keeps the same six rules, and is published the same way.

The six rules, privacy first

  • Aggregated and anonymized only

    Results are totals and ranges for a group. No person, home, professional, agency or practice is ever named or shown in a way that could point to them, and raw answers are never published.

  • Consent first

    Survey answers are anonymous by default, and no question asks for a name, a date of birth or a diagnosis tied to a person. ExpressAgain's own records are used only if the founder and counsel approve it under the Privacy Policy and Terms.

  • Questions fixed in advance

    The questionnaire and the analysis plan are posted on the study's page, dated, before data collection starts. No question is added after looking at results.

  • Honest about the sample

    Every study says who was asked and how they were found. A newsletter or community sample is not a random sample of U.S. families, and the page says so in plain words.

  • No outcome claims

    The studies describe time, frequency, tools and gaps. They do not claim ExpressAgain improves health, prevents hospital visits or saves money.

  • Same incentive for everyone

    Any incentive is the same for everyone and never tied to using or buying ExpressAgain, and none is offered for a referral.

What a published study includes
  1. A headline finding in one complete sentence, with the number, the sample and the month, so it can be quoted alone.
  2. Three to six key findings, each a complete sentence a journalist can quote.
  3. The method: who was asked, how they were found, the dates, the sample size, the margin of error, any weighting, and the full questionnaire.
  4. The limits, in a plain paragraph.
  5. Aggregate tables to download, never raw answers, free to reuse with credit.
  6. How to cite it, and a dated line for every correction, with the old numbers left visible.

How journalists can request data

  1. Email the press team with your outlet, your deadline and the question you want answered.
  2. Say which study it is about, or describe the question if it is not one of these.
  3. Until a study is published there is no data to share. Once it is, the team can send the published aggregate tables and explain the method; individual answers and records are never shared.

Questions about the research

Has ExpressAgain published any research findings?

No. No data has been collected yet, so there are no findings or statistics to quote. This page sets out the questions and the method first, and each study's page is where its findings will be published.

How is people's privacy protected?

Only aggregated, anonymized results are published. No person, home, professional, agency or practice is named, raw answers are never published, and ExpressAgain's own records are used only with the founder's and counsel's approval.

How can a journalist request data?

Email the press team with your outlet, deadline and question. Once a study is published, the team can share its aggregate tables and explain the method; individual answers are never shared.

Will the study pages move?

No. Each study keeps its address under /research for good, so a link or a citation always opens the same study.

Does ExpressAgain claim its app improves health?

No. The studies describe time, frequency, tools and gaps, and make no claim about health outcomes or savings.
