项目摘要
Pilot intervention studies (aka feasibility or preliminary studies) play an indispensable, fundamental role in the
development, refinement, and dissemination of social science/public health interventions. In pilot studies,
preliminary evidence on important processes and potential efficacy of an intervention are collected. Despite
their prominence in the development and funding of almost every well-powered randomized intervention, pilot
studies have received very little attention regarding how they should be designed so that the study’s findings
will provide information to inform decisions about further testing and refining of an intervention. Other
guidelines, such as CONSORT, TREND, SPIRIT, or TIDeR, focus on factors associated with internal validity or
transparency/replication, and fail to address substantive issues interventionists need to consider during the
early stages of testing an intervention, such as what is delivered, who its delivered to, and the intensity of
support for delivery and whether these can be scaled in a larger, well-powered trial. Based on our preliminary
findings, these issues, which we refer to as “generalizability biases,” are a few of the hypothesized emerging
factors that lead to “false-positive or exaggerated early discoveries” and subsequent failed well-powered trials.
The identification and avoidance of generalizability biases can guide intervention decisions during the early
testing so that, according to the NIH, a pilot study’s results can “…enhance the probability of obtaining
meaningful results in subsequent well-powered trials.” In the proposed study, we will conduct a comprehensive
systematic review and meta-epidemiological assessment of the role pilot studies play in the testing and scaling
of interventions. This information will be used to inform the field of scientific practice on how to design more
informative pilot studies that can increase the probability of success of interventions in well-powered trials. For
this study, we will use an innovative multi-phase, cross-validation approach to develop a working set of
generalizability biases interventionists should avoid when conducting preliminary tests of an intervention. In
Phase 1 we will identify, define, and catalogue candidate generalizability biases within a large body of pilot
intervention studies (N = 740) on the topic of child obesity. In Phase 2 we will cross-validate the biases, refine
them, and identify new ones in a sample of pilot intervention studies on the topic of adult obesity (anticipated
sample of 800 studies). In Phase 3 we will perform a double cross-validation of the biases in a new sample of
pilot interventions on the topics of tobacco and HIV/AIDS (anticipated sample of 400 studies each). In Phase 4,
a working draft of the principles will be refined via Delphi survey with leading Journal Editors. This study is
significant because it will be the first to systematically develop guidance for intervention pilot studies. This
study is innovative because it will address a topic that has largely been ignored (pilot studies) and will
synthesize both quantitative and qualitative data to understand how pilot studies can be improved – an
essential, yet overlooked aspect of developing high-quality interventions.

这项研究具有创新性,因为它将探讨一个基本上被忽视的专题(试点研究),

这是制定高质量干预措施的一个重要但被忽视的方面。
