Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Modification of lifestyle behaviour or quality of life 2. Successful uptake, with two distinct components: 2.1. Accept referral or self referral to a formal lifestyle programme (yes/no) 2.2. Participate in a lifestyle change intervention or a self-directed programme of lifestyle modification (no participation; participation initiated; participation initiated/persisted; participation initiated/persisted/ maintained) 3. Participation will be evaluated by self-reported attendance or, for those who undertake self-directed lifestyle change, from self reported activities using structured qualitative methods. While the categories will be the same for acceptance and participation across arms and options, the criteria/derivation differs. Where data is taken from a qualitative interview, rather than a structured proforma, two raters will independently classify participants. Where there are discrepancies, these will be discussed and a consensus reached. | — |
