Ongoing research

With its research, CM keeps track of the current state of our health and healthcare.

In the context of ongoing research, you may be asked to complete a survey.

Survey on access to health care

Healthcare plays a vital role in people's well-being. When access to care is not guaranteed for everyone, health inequalities can increase. Accessibility is a complex issue involving several factors:

  • The ability to recognize health problems early.
  • The geographical availability of services.
  • Financial accessibility.
  • The quality of the relationship between patient and healthcare provider, which must meet people's expectations and needs.

🎯Purpose of the survey

To investigate the barriers some people face in accessing care, CM's research department is launching a large-scale survey. This study aims to better understand the experiences of members so that concrete recommendations can be made to improve access to care in Belgium.

👥 Who will participate?

Participants in the online survey will be randomly selected from CM members aged 18 to 90. The survey will also be distributed through partners, meaning that a number of non-CM members will also participate.

📅 When will this survey take place?

The survey will run from December 1st to 20th, 2025. The selected members have received a personal email invitation.

🔐 Is the survey anonymous?

Yes. Participation is voluntary, and responses are completely confidential.

  • The data will be processed exclusively by researchers at the CM research department.
  • It will be stored securely and pseudonymized.
  • They are never shared with third parties.
  • The processing and analysis are carried out solely for scientific purposes within the framework of this study.
