Abstract

Protocol Analysis was used to investigate the process and content of clinical decision-making of biomedical engineers, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists during assessment for electronic assistive technology (EAT) Sixty participants from assistive technology centres and brain injury units in England used video and audio enhanced case scenarios to think-aloud as they assessed and recommended equipment Semi-structured interviews explored participants self-perception of their role and expertise in EAT assessment The resultant verbal protocols were segmented and coded using decision-making processes and the interviews were coded thematically This paper concentrates upon the methodological issues which arose when using Protocol Analysis
