MDD26 - Study Execution Recruitment Factors - A Post Hoc Analysis
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionThe following summary provides a comprehensive overview of the key aspects involved in preparing and executing human factors (HF) studies. It covers the logistics of study preparation, project support, participant recruitment, and study consideration. This presentation aims to ensure that all logistical aspects are covered, and the study runs smoothly, providing valuable insights and data to support the client's priorities. Particular consideration will be given to evaluation of recruitment data to explore trends with the following aspects of HF research: user groups (cancellation rates per user group), optimized schedules for single week or multi week studies, special tactics for rare populations, and best practices.
Several factors may be at play. Healthcare professionals tend to prefer early morning or evening sessions, adolescents are difficult to recruit on school days and require weekend testing. Certain time slots have a high likelihood of cancellation, and when running sessions across multiple locations or regions of the country there might be adjustments made to ensure the recruit is weighted in the correct areas. Patients with rare diseases or conditions might require assistance from a variety of organizations including patient advocacy organizations.
Post hoc study recruitment data will be explained, and recommendations included for a variety of user groups and study conditions. These data will help audience members make informed decisions about how best to prepare for and execution a human factors formative evaluation or validation study.
HFES often focuses on best practices, this presentation will evaluate the success of certain strategies using real world data from executed studies.
