In addition to the usual evaluation approach (usually a clinical randomized trial in the sense of the question: does an intervention work), complex interventions require further systematic investigations to prove their effectiveness. The role of the context in which the intervention is delivered is essential here, as is consideration of the question of why an intervention works (or does not work). Detailed recommendations exist for the planning and implementation of effectiveness studies on complex interventions, to which interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy undoubtedly belongs.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile app designed to assist dairy cattle farmers in managing and preventing bovine fasciolosis, comparing it with a printed brochure.* -
- Conducted on 37 organic dairy farms in Bavaria, the study involved interviews before and after using either the app or brochure, revealing that participants found both tools helpful in improving their management strategies.* -
- Participants expressed a strong interest in continuing to use these tools for animal health management, suggesting that mobile apps can enhance veterinary practices in managing cattle health issues.*
Article Synopsis
- Infections in dairy cows significantly affect animal health and the livestock industry, with anthelmintic resistance highlighting the need for sustainable control strategies that consider farmer characteristics like attitude and personality.
- The study employed the HEXACO model of personality to analyze how farmers' traits relate to on-farm seropositivity for endoparasites, using data collected through interviews about farm management and structure.
- Results indicated that factors like pasture access, farmer conscientiousness, and attitudes towards animal health are critical for understanding parasite prevalence, underscoring the role of farmer traits in implementing effective livestock management practices.
