PhD Project - Vitri Darlene
Vitri Darlene’s PhD research focuses on trials methodology.
Her work explores the acceptability and experiences of involving patient and public partners in setting target differences. The PhD will inform the implementation of numerical elicitation method in trial statistics.
The PhD uses mixed methods approach. The foundation to her thesis is Patient and Public Involvement in trials, where the first PhD project is a qualitative scoping review, synthesising the reporting of experiences of PPI in trials trial teams and PPI partners' view.
Vitri is now exploring the acceptability of the elicitation method from patient or public partners perspective. Specifically, methods eliciting clinically important differences using patients’ opinion, which aim to support trial design and interpretation. The work will include a scoping review of acceptability of elicitation methods, development and application of a survey assessing acceptability of elicitation methods.
