What is a Pilot Study?
· Pilot studies are small-scale, preliminary studies which aim to investigate whether crucial components of a main study – usually a randomized controlled trial (RCT) – will be feasible. For example, they may be used in attempt to predict an appropriate sample size for the full-scale project and/or to improve upon various aspects of the study design A pilot survey is carried out before the actual research to check the feasibility and validity of the methods and techniques that are chosen among the same area but in a smaller sample. This study seeks to find out whether large scale research can be conducted in a manner that has been decided or not. It is studied to test the process of the main · Typical results from a pilot study can be described as one of the following: 1) termination of the study (cannot proceed with the main study); 2) can proceed with the main study after modifying the study design; 3) not necessary to modify the study design, but requires thorough monitoring throughout the study procedures; or 4) can proceed without modifying Author: Junyong In
