Patient Involvement in the Design of a Patient-Centered Clinical Trial to Promote Adherence to Supplemental Oxygen Therapy in COPD

Resource Type: Research Papers
0 Comments

This paper describes the process and outcomes of including patients and caregivers in the design and refinement of a study of oxygen use in a COPD population. Researchers employed a variety of feedback forums to obtain responses: in-person focus groups, individual phone sessions and email correspondence. Researchers discuss the use of patient and caregiver feedback in the following elements of their research design: length of and topics discussed during the intervention; the inclusion of caregivers in the protocol; and the choice of measured outcomes. A discussion of limitations to the work, representativeness of the sample and thoughts on continued consultation of patients during study maintenance are included.
