    There's always going to be some subcategory of experts they didn't talk to. Do medical studies typically include survey experts signing off on the surveys?

      When a survey is a critical aspect of your study & data gathering, then yes: consultation with someone familiar with best practices in survey design is pretty common.

    surveillance is an expertise of epidemiologists though.
