Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

1. I will continue to go to both my dental clinics, which is Smile Design and Trance & Dental Spa. I would still do my usual work routine in both clinics since I want to see what happens in the actual procedures and keep observing patients on their emtional state when coming to the dentist. Before the patients come in and sit in the dental chair, I would ask them if they are willing to participate in a local survey to provide research about how patients feel when coming to the dentist.

2. I will create at least 50 surveys in total but split the pile into 25 for each clinic since I want to start off small not knowing how the patients are willing to answer my survey. While creating the survey I would ask about the basic information about the patient themselves such as gender, age, ethnicity, religion, but I would not go any personal for them having to put their name, number, and address for the survey. After asking the basic questions of the patient's demographics, I would put some more emotional questions on how they feel when coming to the dentist.

3.  Explain how this component will help you explore your topic in more depth.
This will help me in my research and find out if the theories are true about people not visiting the dentist that often. I will be able to sort out the different groups of people and see what each one has in common with each other as well as what makes an actual patient fear or hate visiting the dentist. It would also help me see if high and low demographics have certain problems such as payments for the services for each clinic since all the treatments are the same pricing but just in different payment methods.
