Performing the Study Pretesting A problem-freeprotocol on paper usually has important problems in practice
Performing the Study Pretesting A problem-freeprotocol on paper usually has important problems in practice Pretesting can discover these problems before the initiation of the study
Performing the Study Pretesting A problem-freeprotocol on paper usually has important problems in practice Pretesting can discover these problems before the initiation of the study Small pilot studies that take only a few days or weeks are very useful to guide appropriate changes in the protocol before the study begins
Performing the Study Pretesting A pilot study to evaluate the methods for recruiting the study subjects
