Hello Rise'. Not fully. To are to many varibles at play so the study can be substantially influenced by the population they surveyed: - in inner cities most people have no relationship with doctors and in many cases go to an ER with medical issues therefore no chance to establish a relationship - a huge % of patients go along for the ride as they aren't pro-active in their care - we have rampant diabetes and obesity in the U.S. - it is like trying to bring the mountain to Mohamnd -if they surveyed nice suburban areas I believe they would get an overly positive type of response the big question on surveys is the ever present potential, known or unknown, in how the questions are formed. An example: the series of questions that were posted by a either a student pursuing his Masters or Doctorate on this site: a lot of those questions did ot pertain to everyone who responded or some choices were not just those offered. This is a standard hole in political, marketing, or other types of surveys. It is truly an art form in not only forming the ? but who you survey. That is why. in the political arena, there are only two polling organizations that have consistently correct trends but even they make mistakes.
