The Oregon Death with Dignity Act defines an attending physician as “the physician who has primary responsibility for the care of the patient and treatment of the patient’s terminal disease.” For the purpose of the study, we defined “attending physicians” as all physicians in Oregon licensed in the following specialties: internal medicine, family practice, general practice, neurology, gynecology, therapeutic radiology, and surgery. We developed a questionnaire after reviewing earlier surveys 7-16 and issues raised during debates about the Oregon initiative and plans for its implementation. The questionnaire was reviewed by a national panel of experts in bioethics and survey research, then tested in a pilot study with a sample of 65 Oregon physicians randomly selected from the BME list of physicians in the specialties noted above.
The questionnaire contained 56 questions. The characteristics of the respondents were determined by 28 closed-ended questions. Attitudes and practices were determined by the degree of agreement with 27 statements, based on a five-point scale. Information about the medications that respondents would prescribe was elicited with an open-ended question. To be consistent with the language of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, we defined participation in physician assisted suicide as writing a prescription for a lethal dose of medication (“lethal prescription”) that a terminally ill patient intends to use to end his or her life.
