Methods

This is a multicentre, mixed-methods study combining a quantitative approach using structured questionnaires (n = 270) and a qualitative analysis based on semi-structured interviews (n = 17). The quantitative survey included items assessing relevance, ease of use, and perceived benefits of PRO-Pal
