After numerous inquiries of HR professional databases, we determined that ResearchNow provided the most accurate sampling frame. Another concern is that respondents may not be knowledgeable enough about MT to provide valid opinions. The fact that our overall findings fit with extant diffusion research somewhat assuages these concerns. In showing the appeal of overseas centers of excellence to unsuspected groups of plan sponsors (e.g., fully insured), they corroborate prior empirical work based on individual patients. The next step in this research is to develop a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying the adoption of MT options and explain how employers' and MT's characteristics influence one another to predict adoption.
