许多因素会影响干预研究的成功实施和有效性。可行性和试点研究的主要目的是评估成功实施拟议的主要干预研究的潜力，并减少对这些研究有效性的威胁。本文介绍了一种类型学，以指导旨在支持随机对照试验的发展的可行性和试点研究的目的，并提供了一个康复试验的发展基础研究的一个例子。大多数可行性和试点研究的目的应该是描述与计划的主要试验的成功实施和有效性相关的信息和证据。假设显著性检验不适用于这些研究，除非样本量有适当的把握度。干预有效性假设的初步检验应在主要研究中进行，而不是在作为试点研究可行性的研究中进行。（2013年）。进行可行性研究的基本步骤。American Journal of Occupational Therapy，67，171-176. http://dx.doi.org/10.5014/ajot.2013.006270
Many factors can affect the successful implementation and validity of intervention studies. A primary purpose of feasibility and pilot studies is to assess the potential for successful implementation of the proposed main intervention studies and to reduce threats to the validity of these studies. This article describes a typology to guide the aims of feasibility and pilot studies designed to support the development of randomized controlled trials and provides an example of the studies underlying the development of one rehabilitation trial. The purpose of most feasibility and pilot studies should be to describe information and evidence related to the successful implementation and validity of a planned main trial. Null hypothesis significance testing is not appropriate for these studies unless the sample size is properly powered. The primary tests of the intervention effectiveness hypotheses should occur in the main study, not in the studies that are serving as feasibility of pilot studies.Tickle-Degnen, L. (2013).
