Applying the multiphase optimization strategy for the development of optimized interventions in palliative care.
This article provides a brief overview and application of Multiphase Optimization Strategy, a framework informed by engineering principles, that uses a systematic process to empirically identify an intervention comprised of components that positively contribute to desired outcomes under real-life constraints. The paper includes the authors’ insights from conducting a pilot factorial trial of an early palliative care intervention to enhance the decision support skills of advanced cancer family caregivers (Project CASCADE).
