Opis

This book focuses on leadership and management strategies including project management, budget planning and management, governance, building a team, and developing a strategy for successful recruitment. Many creative arts therapy researchers lack training and experience in designing and implementing large scale high impact clinical trials. This book is the first in the creative arts therapies that provides guidance on clinical trial implementation. Data management, monitoring, and intervention fidelity and development of a statistical analysis plan are outlined. Finally, the text explores development of a dissemination plan as well as how to commercialise research.

Rarely do creative arts therapy researchers receive adequate training to implement large policy-changing clinical trials. Leadership and Management of Clinical Trials in Creative Arts Therapy, addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive guide to successful trial implementation. Chapters guide researchers through key activities including project management, governance consideration, assembling a research team, budget and data planning and monitoring, and participant recruitment. Later chapters focus on the development of a knowledge translation and exchange plan, and commercialisation of intellectual property.
