The work behind the result
Fit the study into family life.
Diary routines and appointments needed to work alongside school and caregiver commitments.
Intensive adolescent diaries
Reporting needed to fit into participants’ daily routines.
How WCR responded
Staff monitored diary completion and kept communication open with adolescents and families to address practical barriers.
School and caregiver scheduling
Study visits competed with school and family commitments.
How WCR responded
WCR accommodated participant and family schedules when coordinating appointments, without requiring a single routine to work for every household.
Consistency through participation
Families needed to manage the commitment over time.
How WCR responded
Ongoing communication and family support helped the team address practical participation barriers as they arose.
Outcomes in context
Completion and loss to follow-up stayed distinct
Seven of eight randomized participants completed, a completion rate of 87.5%. One participant was lost to follow-up.
