What are the Outcomes of a Successful Pilot Study?
A successful pilot study can yield several positive outcomes: - Feasibility Assessment: Determines whether the study can be realistically conducted. - Protocol Refinement: Identifies and rectifies any flaws in the study design. - Resource Allocation: Helps in better planning for time, budget, and personnel. - Risk Mitigation: Identifies potential risks and adverse events, allowing for preemptive measures. - Enhanced Credibility: Increases the scientific credibility of the main study by demonstrating thorough preliminary testing.
