Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Assess the feasibility of a full scale RCT measured at the end of study with respect to: 1. Recruitment procedures measured by identification and response rates, recruitment rates and establishment of site specific procedures 2. Appropriateness, responsiveness and acceptability of outcome measures measured by analysis of any missing data and completion rates 3. Fidelity of the intervention assessed by dropout rates, content of the intervention using an intervention log and acceptability of randomisation into the intervention/control.	—
