DESCRIPTION:This talk discusses  the preliminary results found during a Ph
 D research project examining potential limitations of existing medication 
 packaging as well as current testing methods. In order to influence the de
 sign of medication packaging in a beneficial and measurable way\, more con
 crete knowledge on how patients actually use packaging at home must be gat
 hered first. Currently\, data is being collected from patients that are be
 ing observed and interviewed in their homes. Since this research uses main
 ly qualitative methods for data collection and analysis\, insights into th
 e choice and use of methods and study design will also be given.\n\nAbout 
 the speaker: Christine Schneider is a psychodynamic counsellor\, currently
  studying for her PhD at the Engineering Design Centre Cambridge. A full o
 verview of her research project can be found here:\n\nhttp://www-edc.eng.c
