PhD Project - Vitri Darlene
Vitri Darlene’s PhD research focuses on clinical trials’ methods.
Her work explores the acceptability and experiences of involving patient and public partners in determining numerical aspects of trials- to develop ways to support patient involvement in trials and inform implementation of numerical elicitation method.
The PhD uses mixed methods approach. The foundation to her thesis is Patient and Public Involvement in trials, where the first PhD project focused on synthetising the evidence of the experiences of involved parties in Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in randomised controlled trials.
Vitri is now exploring the acceptability of elicitation method from patient or public partners perspective. Specifically, method to determine clinically important differences using patients’ opinion, which aims to support trial design and interpretation. The work will include literature review, development, and application of a survey to assess acceptability on method eliciting patients’ opinion to determine meaningful differences between treatments in a trial.
