Recommendations for Research Design of Telehealth Studies

Abstract: Properly designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard to use when examining the effectiveness of telehealth interventions on clinical outcomes. Some published telehealth studies have employed well-designed RCTs. However, such methods are not always feasible and practical in particular settings. This white paper addresses not only the need for properly designed RCTs, but also offers alternative research designs, such as quasi-experimental designs, and statistical techniques that can be emp… Show more

“…Online public cyber school enrollment in this northeastern state has increased approximately 760% from 2001–2007 (Benefield & Runk, 2008), and students with Individualized Educational Plans (IEPS) constitute 14% of the enrollment in these cyber schools (Müller, 2009). Telepractice in speech-language pathology may be utilized more in these school settings due to existing distance educational technologies, and as such, the viewpoints and data from SLPs providing the telepractice services to these educational environments were included in this study (Alverson et al, 2008; ASHA, 2010; Chumbler, Kobb, Brennan, & Rabinowitz, 2008). …”

“…For example, a randomized control trial may remain the gold standard and the ultimate test of the final delivery vehicle and its impact on child and adolescent treatment outcome. Yet, earlier testing of the prototype may encourage investigators to look back to the field's historical roots in behavioral theory and analysis to consider models, such as a multiple baseline design, that provide critical feedback about not only the potential role of technology in treatment outcome, but the feasibility and usability of the technology in the hands of the clinician and the clients that they serve (see Chumbler et al, 2008;Grigsby & Bennett, 2006;Kumar et al, 2013a for reviews). If consumers, in other words therapists, children, and families, do not feel comfortable using the technology that is designed and tested in the course of a line of research and, in turn, do not utilize it, technology has little hope to address the challenges that facing the field of children and adolescent mental health.…”

“…“Testing” in this proof-of-concept or prototype approach may encourage investigators to think somewhat differently about other aspects of the research design process as well (see Chumbler, Kobb, Brennen, & Rabinowitz, 2008; Enock & McNally, 2012; Grigsby & Bennett, 2006; Kumar et al, 2013a; Nilsen, Riley, Heetderks, 2013; Riley, 2012, for reviews).
