Today is #ClinicalTrialsDay. In a world where more and more information are, presumably, obtained through all sorts of tech solutions, #machinelearning, #bigdata #AI, there is still a need for "old fashion" trials. I have seen several times before where data driven analysis do actually produce interesting hypotheses, but how can we trust them? Clinical trials quantifies the #scientific procedure that is needed to find out IF there actaually is a real effect or just a coincidence. Good clinical trials also requires good data handling, data manipulation, analysis plans, procedures for analysis and reporting. #statistics #science

🎉 Congratulations to Betty Zeritis and the Glaucoma Australia Team! 🎉 We are thrilled to celebrate your outstanding results for Tax 2024! A special shoutout to Alexandra Dobbing, EMFIA, Erin, Alexandra McDowall, Stuart Ghent, Maria Mijovic, and Kate Farina for their fantastic collaboration. GA’s introduction of DM appeal principles has truly demonstrated why these strategies are fundamental to any successful program. Key highlights include: 📓 Authentic Storytelling: Crafting compelling narratives with a clear proposition. 🚨 Sense of Urgency: Highlighting specific needs rather than making a general request for funds. 💰 Tangible Dollar Handles: Connecting donors with how their contributions address the problems and need. 💵 Personalised Dollar Amounts: Tailoring asks based on past giving history. 🎯 Data-Driven Targeting: Leveraging insights from past campaigns to maximise income, especially vital for a small (but mighty!) mail file. While it's still too early to fully analyse the results, one new tactic appears to have made a significant impact. This appeal introduced well-articulated asks for supporters with a direct connection to glaucoma. Historically, GA hadn’t approached recently diagnosed supporters for donations, but a carefully crafted and targeted approach for this appeal likely contributed to its exceptional success. We are thrilled with GA's results and are excited about what we can achieve together in the coming year!
