Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary feasibility outcomes: Recruitment/randomisation rate is measured as a proportion of participants recruited/randomised into two arms; the denominator will be the number of participants eligible for recruitment/randomisation by the end of the randomisation period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current secondary outcome measures as of 22/10/2019: Secondary feasibility outcomes: 1. Intervention uptake is measured as a proportion of participants who took up the intervention and usual care; the denominator will be the number of participants randomised in the arm, respectively, at 6 month post-randomisation 2. Intervention retention is measured as a proportion of participants in the intervention arm who received the “minimum dose” of the intervention, four sessions of mindfulness intervention, at 6 months post-randomisation 3. Follow-up rate is measured as a proportion of participants followed up at six months post-randomisation out of those enrolled in the trial. The proportion who have been lost to follow-up will also be calculated by the trial arms, at 6 months post-randomisation 4. Participant experiences of the study is evaluated through qualitative interviews at completion of the intervention Previous secondary outcome measures: Secondary feasibility outcomes: 1.
