Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:While this study is the first to evaluate pandemic preparedness in a novel, yet critical, worker population, our study does have certain limitations. Like most volunteer questionnaire study designs, our research study is at risk of recall bias (selective memory for certain experiences/information), social desirability bias (participant responses influenced by researchers’ goals), and self-selection bias (individuals who feel strongly about a topic are more likely to participate in a study). We saw a high number of respondents who did not complete all sections of the survey. It is uncertain if this is due to the design or technical aspects of the online questionnaire or to external factors (e.g., participants were interrupted while taking the survey during working hours). However, there was no significant difference in job and demographic characteristics between those who completed the survey compared to those who did not. Another limitation is that our study population may not reflect the target veterinary and animal care workforce, limiting the external generalizability of our findings, as in the case of our low racial diversity and high percentage of female participants (veterinary medical field in US estimated at 63.9% female in 2020).31 Our findings suggest a need for future directions in preparedness response research within this critical worker population to address two main areas. First, there is a need to understand the relationship between changes in operational prac...
