Single-subject experimental designs – also referred to as within-subject or single case experimental designs – are among the most prevalent designs used in CSD treatment research. These designs provide a framework for a quantitative, scientifically rigorous approach where each participant provides his or her own experimental control. An Overview of...
While developing a recruitment database requires an initial investment of time and resources, it can save time in the long term by providing a more efficient system for identifying leads, managing follow up communications, and generating reports for analyzing recruitment trends and issues. When setting up recruitment software, researchers should...
Video: Monitoring and Reporting Treatment Fidelity Treatment fidelity means assuring that the treatment in a research study is conducted consistently and reliably. That is very important is because the outcomes of treatment research ends up affecting patient care and the quality of care that patients receive. In most of our...
The ability to recruit an adequate number of participants can be an important factor in a study’s success, helping to ensure that the work can be completed within planned budgets and timelines, and with sufficient statistical power. While every study will encounter unique opportunities and challenges, experienced researchers suggest that...
Advice for “thinking about the noise” and the value of adding mixed model analysis to your research toolkit Noisy data has a high degree of variability and a greater range — of scores, or reaction times, or whatever it is you’re measuring. In a lot of the cochlear implant studies...
An overview of definitions, conceptual approaches, design types, and methodology The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. What am I going to do today? I’m going to define for you what CBPR is, give you a little bit about the concepts and the theory that...
The following is a transcript of the presentation video, edited for clarity. I’m going to talk a little bit about conceptual frameworks. There’s lots of them. The challenge is making sure you’re using something that really addresses your particular implementation question. I’m going to talk about a model that I...
Our idea with the phases of research was just that, in our view, there needs to be an order to the research and development of new intervention techniques. That there was, in fact, very little order in the studies of intervention of young children. So, we were hoping to make...
I’ll start with just a little bit of background. It’s interesting that in contrast to a large number of studies that have been done with children who have cochlear implants, there really is a major gap in the evidence on children who are hard of hearing and wear hearing aids....
Building collaborative partnerships and optimizing family communications to promote recruitment and retention You can imagine trying to recruit a sample of this size is also challenging. And at each of the sites, we had strengths — and clinical people who had a network of connections in their state. Those relationships...
