Multiple Choice

Prior to conducting a grounded theory study, in which 11 women undergoing radiation for breast cancer were interviewed multiple times, the researchers conducted a pilot study in which they interviewed three women every 2 weeks from the time radiation was planned until 4 weeks after it was completed. The purpose for the pilot study was to refine the interview instrument and to discover whether women would be willing to be interviewed this frequently about such a private topic. The pilot was not published separately. In the institutional review board application, the researcher indicated an intent to include information in the research report about the three women in the pilot study-what going through the process of radiation therapy was like for them-in addition to the 11 main study women. In this case, if the findings from the women in the pilot were not included in the Methods section, where would the information about the process of going through radiation therapy obtained from the pilot study women be included?
