Path to fieldwork

1
IRB exemption determination approved
2
Master survey programming (English) and QC completed
3
Translation overlay programming
NowThai, Korean, and Chinese overlays in progress
4
Fieldwork launch
Targeted mid-July, once translation overlays pass final checks

Needs attention

Fieldwork timeline shifted a further ~2 weeks (survey live mid-Jul, close ~mid-Aug), driven by additional rounds of translation QC after cognitive interviews and by discussions with Abbott on their participation
Abbott employee-panel participation: finalizing discussions on the scope of a small number of workplace-support items with Abbott. Continued participation is at risk: Abbott may withdraw from M-WISE if alignment is not reached.
