I wanted to start a thread on possible ways to test the effectiveness of the PATHS technologies. I had an idea.

I can record one of my PATHS modules with my laptop. Adam previously said the module would not be effective if not personalized for the individual. We can get 2 groups of participants to watch the videos. The first group will be told PATHS will be effective and the second will be told it will not be effective. Then the groups can record their progress on the area of their life the module is supposed to benefit. A third control group could just record progress without viewing the module.

Any comments on improving this experiment or a different experiment we could try? Anyone want to participate? It should probably be a 3-month study, so we'd need people to make a 3-month commitment.
