DPhil thesis:
Can Online Trials Improve Self-Management of Health Interventions? A Mixed Methods Participatory Action Research Investigation.
Research abstract
The thesis: Can self-recruited online randomized controlled trials provide trustworthy answers to questions about self-management of health interventions? and Can the public and patients be engaged meaningfully in the design and conduct of such trials? The aim is to develop a sound methodology for conducting participatory online trials and to explore how online trials can be used to improve the degree of public involvement in health research. The thesis will look at how involvement and methodology impact trial quality and the degree to which participants understand research.
