![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome to #Otalk Research. Whether you have experience of using pilot studies, in the process of designing a pilot study or would like to learn more to help you evaluate studies, hopefully you'll find tonight's chat useful. |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Say "hello" if you are joining us this evening and don't forget the #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Hi everyone, really looking forward to tonight's #Otalk though slightly nervous being on this side of the account with [REDACTED USER] |
@LynneGoodacre Hi everyone - great to be back in 2019 with #otalk research | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Icebreaker question this evening. What does the term 'pilot study' mean to you? #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Let’s get started with the first question. Question 1 What does the term ‘pilot study’ mean to you and what do you think are the main reasons for conducting a pilot study? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Hi Emma! Lots of learning tonight hopefully #Otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Or is it? I'm sure all will become clearer during the #Otalk chat @preston_jenny |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Here's the first question tonight from @preston_jenny #Otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Anyone got any thoughts on [REDACTED USER] question? #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Good point @OTzzie, even the MRC Framework for evaluation complex interventions uses the terms interchangeably #OTalk |

![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Might there be specific aspects of the research/trial that you might wish to test [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Perhaps we might have some examples from researchers who have carried these out? Help us with some context to understand the difference or if indeed there is a difference? #Otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Any thoughts? #Otalk |
@LynneGoodacre This is how I think of it as well @EllenChisman the clue is in the word 'feasible' #otalk | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LynneGoodacre: This is how I think of it as well @EllenChisman the clue is in the word 'feasible' #otalk https://t.co/juZezMePZU |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Moving on to the next question.Can you tell us about your experiences of conducting, observing or taking part in a pilot study? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots of great reasons for carrying out pilots and lots of questions raised already that hopefully we can explore further this evening #OTalk |
@smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #OTalk lurking too.... Good evening everyone!.... | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
@LynneGoodacre I think this is where the confusion lies - because of the word feasible - so if I pilot a questionnaire I want to know some very specific things about it which are broader than the word feasible #OTalk | |
@LynneGoodacre So as part of pre -validating a questionnaire the pilot study might explore things like do people understand the questions, is anything missing, is it too short/too long, are the choices for answering the questions right etc #OTalk | |

![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! joining late because of a phone call #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] It means to me that it is a study that is considered as a test of concept- evidence might be scarce. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Anyone any experience of doing this? #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny You sound like you have some experience of this [REDACTED USER], is there any good advice that you can share with others #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny What did the feasibility study tell you [REDACTED USER] and how did that inform your actual study #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @preston_jenny: You sound like you have some experience of this [REDACTED USER], is there any good advice that you can share with others… |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Do you have any learning to share with us [REDACTED USER] #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] Brilliant [REDACTED USER] we are all learning and all experiences are equally valid #Otalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] test of concept means- the concept has not been proven, as it is still in exploratory stages. #otalk |
@LynneGoodacre Here's a link to an NIHR document that explains the diff between feasibility and pilot studies for anyone interested https://t.co/BEN1z4nvox #otalk | |

![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Great discussion tonight and we’ve already started to consider this but what are the main benefits observed from pilot studies? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Any thoughts? #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks for sharing @LynneGoodacre Download and add to your reading list #Otalk |
@LynneGoodacre Hmm interesting point [REDACTED USER] when I piloted a questionnaire we made some changes as a result of the pilot and tried it out with a few people but not as many as the original pilot #OTalk I guess the question is at what point do you stop piloting | |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Good question [REDACTED USER] and does that introduce a potential difference in the use of 'piloting' between quantitative and qualitative methodologies (somewhat provocative here, sorry) #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Well that answers that question [REDACTED USER], great succint summary #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
@LynneGoodacre I agree [REDACTED USER] I see construct and content validity as something which is tested in the main study #OTalk | |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Good example [REDACTED USER] thank you for sharing #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Excellent examples [REDACTED USER], this is exactly what the pilot study is intended to do #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |

![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny It is hard to keep up [REDACTED USER], I'm stuggling a bit tonight too but the discussion is great with some fantastic examples of learning and sharing #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots of great discussions going on tonight [REDACTED USER] so it is hard to keep up! The transcript will help if we've all been good and used the #Otalk 😀 |

![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Where is the time going tonight? Are we ready for Question 4 What, if any, are the challenges in relation to pilot studies? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @preston_jenny: Well that answers that question [REDACTED USER], great succint summary #OTalk [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/nkUQs0m3Jh |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ It's been a great discussion and its going fast! Any challenges to share? #Otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT lurking for the remainder of the check... see you guys next week. #otalk |
@LynneGoodacre When you're recruiting from a small pool of potential participants not using them all up in the pilot #OTalk | |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Thanks @ozcboss #OTalk discusses research on the first Tuesday of the month. Do join us or perhaps you might even consider hosting a chat. |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @ozcboss Thanks for sharing. First Tuesday of every month our chat focuses on a research topic so feel free to join us #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Very good point @LynneGoodacre #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Another excellent example, thanks for sharing [REDACTED USER] #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Were you successful with the funding bid @Incredhead and were you able to conduct the study? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
@LynneGoodacre Design in a great point for sure - needing to be clear about exactly what you are wanting to find out through the pilot and ensuring its design will explore those issues #OTalk | |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny I feel like I’m rushing now but now for our final question of the night. How do you know if you have done enough piloting to execute a larger scale study? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
@LynneGoodacre we reported this in the paper for the main study rather than as a paper in it's own right #OTalk | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Last question of the evening! #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @LynneGoodacre: we reported this in the paper for the main study rather than as a paper in it's own right #OTalk https://t.co/po3kr4OCOe |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Its been a very informative chat. Lots of questions answered and raised #Otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Its been a great chat tonight [REDACTED USER] some excellent real life examples being shared. I can't wait to read the transcript #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny I think that is a very real risk [REDACTED USER] and such a pity #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @preston_jenny: I think that is a very real risk [REDACTED USER] and such a pity #OTalk [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/0wEtPhSPqo |
@LynneGoodacre before you even get to using the questionnaire in the main study [REDACTED USER] questionnaires are usually piloted, once the items have been generated, with a small number of people to check that the questions can be understood etc etc #OTalk | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ 5 minute warning. Keep the comments coming. So much learning tonight #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny As a PhD supervisor we always get the blame!! What factors do you think might be taken into consideration? #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk – 12th February 2019 – TBI and Cognitive rehabilitation: https://t.co/j30ROg7laZ |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ The pilot study can be a very important part of the research process so thanks you to everyone for your contributions; it is great to have learnt so much this evening and have some reading to do to learn some more #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Can't argue with that [REDACTED USER]. Sounds like you have been successful with your finding bid. Congratulations #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
@LynneGoodacre thanks also to [REDACTED USER] and @preston_jenny for making us think at this time of night! #otalk | |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ That's it folks! Please do keep chatting. Thank you very much to @preston_jenny for leading with tonight's questions. Goodbye from [REDACTED USER] on the #Otalk account |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny It's a brilliant job! I learn so much from my PhD students and I'm always so proud of their achievements #OTalk [REDACTED USER] |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @EllenChisman Thank you for joining us #Otalk |
@LynneGoodacre can't think of any contrary examples at the moment [REDACTED USER] certainly qual but when I've done this it's been more 1:1 than focus groups #Otalk |
