No. Your case is still in the investigation stage if your investigator reached out to you.
An investigator will not adjudicate your case.
No, but an adjudicator may want more info and have the investigator contact you again.
Or, the investigation was submitted and the quality control/reviewer directed some additional info.

so I assume you didnāt get an interim. also, how do you know your case was in adjudication?
Thank you, I know the investigator had submitted everything in. So one of these might be happening.
Iām not sure about the interim, but the investigator told me that she had wrapped up and submitted it for me.
Sounds like something called a reopen. I hate them!
Following the initial interview which takes place between the person who completed the form (aka subject) and the investigator, a report is written by the investigator and transmitted first to the case reviewer and then from the reviewer to the adjudicator.
When the report is reviewed by those characters, errors, incomplete coverage or new/developed information could be at issue. The report needs attention so itās sent back to the investigator to deal with in that dreaded form of a reopen.
Notes are checked, the guide reviewed and if necessary the Subject contacted.
If, as the subject, your investigator has contacted you, there are loose ends that need to be tied up. The investigator will want to review those items and get them resolved which would explain the contact you have wondered about.
Hope this helped and didnāt restate what you already knew.

Thank you that was very insightful. Hence, the investigator who called me was not the same investigator who I did my interview with. It was someone different. I called the person who had my case and she said she no longer had access to it.
This thread is why experienced investigators donāt casually tell Subjects when they are submitting their report.
The investigator only has a slice of the case. It might be a small slice or it might be a big slice. They never have the only slice.
Also, activities the Subject was supposed to initially report are often discovered during the Subject interview. The investigator is responsible for āschedulingā those new activities and any other required supplemental actions.
SO, when an investigator tells any Subject that they are āwrapping upā, ātransmittingā, āsubmittingā, or ācompletingā the Subjectās caseā¦ 99.999999999 percent of the time it just means the investigator is sending off their slice of the investigation and moving on to the next case.
The adjudicator does not get the investigatorās report until all of the required pieces were collected.
