The Availability Heuristic

7.3K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Trials
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Challenges of conducting therapeutic clinical trials during uncontrolled epidemics in resource-poor settings.
    • Importance of close collaboration between research and clinical teams.
    • Need for cultural sensitivity and procedural flexibility in field research.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the antiviral favipiravir in decreasing mortality and improving tolerance in patients with acute Ebola virus disease.
    • To integrate research into clinical care to inform patient management during an epidemic.
    • To explore the feasibility and challenges of implementing a proof-of-concept trial in a resource-limited, high-risk environment.

    Summary:

    • The JIKI trial was a sequential, single-arm, proof-of-concept study conducted in Guinea (2014-2015).
    • The trial aimed to assess favipiravir's efficacy and tolerance in Ebola virus disease patients.
    • Research activities were embedded within clinical care, providing real-time data for patient management.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the challenges and potential gains of conducting ethical research during public health emergencies.
    • Provides insights into managing clinical trials in resource-poor settings during infectious disease outbreaks.
    • Highlights the importance of community engagement and adaptive trial designs for vulnerable populations.
