Primary

MeasureTime frame
Intervention feasibility measures: 1. Time taken for intervention set up across participating sites measured according to time from HRA approval to first enrolment 2. Compliance with core processes per resource measured according to the proportion of core processes satisfied per resource 3. Compliance with all core processes per participant measured according to the proportion of all core processes satisfied Study method feasibility measures: 1. Return rate per measurement instrument measured according to the rate of return per instrument 2. Return rate of all instruments per participant measured according to the overall rate of return per participant 3. Rate of missing cost/resource utilisation data measured according to the rate of missing data points All of the feasibility endpoints are measured once at the end of the study
