An randomized controlled trial of Post‐it® Notes did not increase postal response rates in older depressed participants
Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2016Co-Authors: Helen J Lewis, Ada Keding, Simon Gilbody, Katharine Bosanquet, David J. TorgersonAbstract:Rationale, aims and objectives Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Post-It® note to increase response rates and shorten response times to a 4-month postal follow-up questionnaire sent to participants taking part in the Collaborative Care in Screen-Positive Elders (CASPER) trials. Method Our trial was a two-arm randomized controlled trial comparing response rates to questionnaires with a printed Post-It® note (intervention) and without (control), nested in multi centred randomized controlled trials of older people with varying levels of depressive symptoms; the CASPER+ and CASPER Self Help for those At Risk of Depression (SHARD) trials. A total of 611 participants were eligible and randomized. The primary outcome was response rates, secondary outcomes were time to response and need for a reminder. Results Of 297 participants, 266 (89.6%) returned their 4-month questionnaire in the Post-It note arm, compared with 282 of 314 participants (89.8%) in the control arm (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.57, 1.65, P = 0.913). There were no statistically significant differences in time to respond or the need to be sent a reminder. Patients with a major depressive episode were more likely to return questionnaires with Post-It Notes (P of interaction = .019). Conclusion There was no significant difference in response rates, time to response, or the need for a reminder between the intervention and control at 4-month follow up for older people with depressive symptoms. However, there was a significant interaction between the Post-It® note group and level of depression.

Post-It Notes to improve questionnaire response rates in RCTs - findings from a randomised sub-study.
Trials, 2015Co-Authors: Ada Keding, Helen Tilbrook, Hannah Buckley, Helen J Lewis, Kate Bosanquet, Simon Gilbody, David J. TorgersonAbstract:Methods A two-arm RCT was embedded into the follow-up of older adults as part of the UK Casper Plus trial and Casper Cohort. At 4 months follow-up, participants were randomised to receive either a questionnaire or a questionnaire + Post-It note requesting completion. Logistic regression and time-to-event analyses were used to assess attrition. Results were combined with those of a previous embedded RCT (ATLAS) in a meta-analysis.

Randomized trial within a trial of yellow 'Post-It Notes' did not improve questionnaire response rates among participants in a trial of treatments for neck pain.
Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2014Co-Authors: Helen Tilbrook, Taeko Becque, Hannah Buckley, Hugh Macpherson, Mathew Bailey, David J. TorgersonAbstract:Rationale Attrition is a threat to the validity of randomized trials. Few randomized studies have been conducted within randomized trials to test methods of reducing attrition. Aim To test whether using yellow Post-It Notes on follow-up questionnaires in the ATLAS treatment trial for neck pain reduces attrition. Method Nested trial within a trial. ATLAS participants were randomized to have their 6-month follow-up questionnaire have a 3′ yellow Post-It note with a handwritten message encouraging return of questionnaire. Results 499 participants were independently randomized using simple allocation to receive the Post-It Notes or not. Two hundred fifteen of the 256 (84.0%) participants in the intervention group returned their questionnaire compared with 205 of the 243 (84.4%) in the control group. There was no difference in time to response. Conclusion Yellow Post-It Notes do not enhance questionnaire return rates for participants in a randomized trial of neck pain.

Integrating User-Centred Design in Agile Development - Workshop on the Integration of User-Centred Design and Agile Development: Approach, Findings and Themes
Human–Computer Interaction Series, 2016Co-Authors: Peggy Gregory, Marta Larusdottir, Asa Cajander, Gilbert CocktonAbstract:This chapter reports on a workshop held at NordiCHI 2014 on the integration of user-centred design (UCD) and Agile Software Development (Agile). The workshop brought together academic researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss challenges, success stories and future trends when working with UCD and Agile. Eight papers were accepted, of which seven reported the results of empirical studies and one presented a theoretical comparison. The workshop day was inspired by Agile methods. It was time-boxed, incremental, interactive, collaborative, used a visual workspace and a team-based approach. Post-It Notes capturing features from paper presentations and discussions were written and displayed on the walls throughout the day. These were divided into two groups, one for ‘interesting points’ and the other for ‘challenges and obstacles’. At the end of the day the two groups of Post-It Notes were themed using an affinity diagram approach. Eight higher-level themes were identified by the authors during a post-workshop analysis. These were: People and roles, Teams and communication, Culture, Methods and practices, Time and synchronisation, Artefacts and tools, Research and problems, and Miscellaneous. Six themes were applicable to both affinity diagrams, the ‘Culture’ theme was only found in the ‘challenges and obstacles’ set and the ‘Research and problems’ theme was only found in the ‘interesting points’ set. Key elements of the themes were about practices, people, culture and time. The workshop illustrates the importance of industry-based empirical research to investigate challenges and innovate solutions for the ever-changing landscape of software development.
