Find Active Study Sites with Two Enrollments

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Tell me about high-level SQL topics you’ve worked with, including how you approach writing and validating queries.

For the practical portion, write a query that identifies qualifying sites for active studies and demonstrates how you would validate the result. Include only sites with at least two completed enrollment events.

Output

  1. One row per qualifying site, with study_name, site_name, total_participants, latest_event_date, and study_site_rank.
  2. Include only active studies and qualifying sites, ordered by study_name, then study_site_rank, then site_id.

Output details

  • Order study_name, study_site_rank, and site_id ascending.
  • Rank sites separately within each study by total_participants descending, assigning equal ranks to ties and leaving gaps.
  • Calculate total_participants from all enrollment events, treating NULL participant_count values as 0.
  • Calculate latest_event_date as the maximum event date across all enrollment events.
