Feasibility Study
A feasibility study tests whether an intervention is practical and achievable in real-world conditions before committing to large, expensive trials. These studies examine whether people can actually follow the protocol, if the measurements work as intended, and whether it's worth pursuing further research. While feasibility studies aren't designed to prove effectiveness, they often reveal important insights about what works in practice versus theory—and can show promising early results that justify larger trials.
