A well-conducted pilot study should address several key questions:
1. Feasibility: Is the study feasible within the proposed timeline and budget? 2. Recruitment and Retention: Can participants be recruited and retained successfully? 3. Data Collection: Are the data collection methods effective and reliable? 4. Study Procedures: Are the study procedures practical and do they work as intended? 5. Preliminary Outcomes: What are the preliminary results, and do they indicate that the main study is worth pursuing?
