| description | A prerandomization run-in is a period between screening a potential trial participant and their being randomized. In a 2019 article in JAMA Network Open, Fukuoka et al1 evaluated whether a mobile phone education application and in-person counseling could increase physical activity in 210 study participants. A prerandomization run-in was used to improve adherence and determine baseline physical activity levels of the participants. In this article, the advantages and limitations of run-in periods are reviewed. |
