Hi Ian, thank you for sharing this 2011 blog post. Agree on the perspective; I think the practicalities of raising funding for RCTs (which possibly allows for 10x the intervention after positive results in 2-3 years), while seeing the intervention being so impactful to date, require some good balancing. In any case, we continue to do both!
Full disclosure: Iโm also a co-founder of GOAL 3, so definitely not an unbiased observer here.
What I find an interesting dilemma is how we should balance further RCT/evidence generation vs. scaling a proven intervention (for medical professionals)? What are the ideas on this for the forum?
