Abstract
Though issues discussed in this paper are generally applicable to most areas of research, the focus will be on methodological issues as they relate primarily to behavioral research with adult dental patients. The examples which are used to amplify various issues should be regarded as illustrative, no attempt has been made to be exhaustive or even representative in selecting these examples.
