Definition
▲
This is an ontological definition of the entity using the standard format of specifying the parent class followed by specification of characteristics that distinguish this class from others in that class
A feasibility study that evaluates an intervention.
Note: Definitions may show angled brackets (< and >) around some of the text to show that it is the parent term.
Comment
▲
This is optional explanatory text, elaborating on the definition and explaining how the entity should be used
This is a broader class than pilot trial because a a feasibility trial may involve an evaluation that is not a smaller scale version of a full-scale RCT, for example, trying out a range of different interventions or ways of conducting the trial.
Fuzzy set
▲
This indicates whether the entity has fuzzy boundaries e.g. adolescence. In that case users of the term must precisely specify the operationalisation of the class in each usage.
No
