Designing an MVP experiment for Behaviour change interventions

I wanted to answer the following questions so that I could design my experiment to be as realistic as possible:

  • What is the most common form of temporary medication?

  • What is a typical administration recommendation for how the temporary medication should be taken? e.g. twice per day with food, after food, before food, on an empty stomach?

Procedure: initial exploration

Survey

A survey was used to find potential participants for interviewing and further experiments. The survey aimed to collect a list of participants who had in the last 0-2 years been prescribed and had taken short-term medication.

The 0-2 year qualification period was chosen because the experience would be relatively recent to them. If I were to reduce the amount of time since the last prescription, it would severely reduce my accessible pool of potential participants.

Research question

For the MSP project I wanted to explore the following questions: What are the best methods to design a study to record the effectiveness of Digital Behaviour Change Interventions (DBCI) techniques when patients attempt to adhere to temporary medication What are people’s pain points when trying to take temporary medication that can be influenced by DBCI’s How do people … Continue reading Research question
