To effectively manage participant burden, it must first be measured. This can be done using various methods:
1. Surveys and Questionnaires: Participants can be asked to rate their experience and the difficulty of the study tasks. 2. Focus Groups: Small group discussions can provide in-depth insights into the participants' perspectives. 3. Pilot Studies: Conducting a pilot study can help identify potential burdens and make necessary adjustments before the main study begins. 4. Feedback Mechanisms: Continuous feedback during the study can help identify emerging issues and address them promptly.
