Video-based online interviews for palliative care research: A new normal in COVID-19?

There is no doubt that COVID-19 has significantly dis- rupted the course of health and clinical research. In some cases, researchers may have had to arrest data collection or re-design studies to accommodate to COVID-19. However, despite the challenges of carrying out research during COVID-19, researchers in palliative care are con- ducting research 1,2 including research on palliative care needs in the context of COVID-19. The pandemic has necessitated online participation in studies, particularly for studies involving patients and caregivers.
