Abstract

Study implementation starts with the necessary training of personnel, planning of logistics, and establishment of infrastructure. At this stage of the study, management and training skills as well as practical experience become as important for the investigators as theoretical scientific skills. Literature on this important aspect of a study is sparse; therefore, in this chapter we present experience-based recommendations for preparing for the implementation of a study.
