Brief summary
The READY study is a double-blinded randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms. A 2 week web-based employee decision aid tool and a control website. Participants will have open access to the website for 2 weeks, this is to assist the participants in being able to make a decision by understanding that the decision aid tool will come to an end at the 2 week period with an expectation of a decision to be made at this point as informed in the PIS. Assessments will occur at baseline, post-intervention (immediately after intervention) and follow-up 6 weeks post-intervention.
Interventions
The program (READY) is based around seven self-guided modules which have been pilot tested and refined through focus groups with employees who have disclosed mental health conditions and, designed to improve decisional conflict by informing on what could happen and reflecting on what has happened in previous experiences through modules including; risks and benefits, needs at work, values at work, deciding when the best time to tell is, reflecting on who the user has told in the past, deciding wh
The program (READY) is based around seven self-guided modules which have been pilot tested and refined through focus groups with employees who have disclosed mental health conditions and, designed to improve decisional conflict by informing on what could happen and reflecting on what has happened in previous experiences through modules including; risks and benefits, needs at work, values at work, deciding when the best time to tell is, reflecting on who the user has told in the past, deciding who should the user tell, and providing a summary of their answers. Users must complete each interactive module to be able to move to the next module. Participants can log-in as many times as they like. At the end of each section participant will be asked if they would like to continue, if they would like to save and return, or if they would like to stop the intervention. If participants decide to stop the intervention they will be given the post-intervention questionnaires and then the intervention will stop. Once they have completed all modules or confirmed they would like to stop (exit/finish) they will be asked to complete the post-intervention questions immediately. The application is supported by a research database which collects data, populates relevant interactive fields, and records time on site, number of modules completed, length of individual module use and frequency of access. • Advantages and Disadvantages • Needs at work • Values at work • Risks at work • When would be the best time to tell • Reflecting on previous disclosures • Who would be the best person to tell The intervention can be completed on any device that has adequate internet access, at home or work etc. Participants will have open access for 2 weeks. We expect that each module would take 5-10 minutes to complete, Participants can decide how many modules they would like to visit, we would expect at least 30 mins is required to complete the questionnaires pre screening and 30 minutes in total for the follow-up questionnaires.
