Published May 3, 2024

Using a small sample of 18 patients from a larger pilot randomized control trial, the authors explore how video and audio diaries collected during the intervention may help in better understanding patient experiences with randomized control trial interventions. Overall, participants found it easy to record their video or audio diaries, although participants’ comfort and perceived value of doing so declined over time.
