Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The feasibility of a subsequent phase III randomised controlled trial (RCT) according to pre-specified progression criteria. The researchers are primarily interested in whether: 1. The trial is appealing to participants (assessed by the recruitment rate) 2. The Snacktivity intervention is acceptable (measured by Snacktivity adherence) They also wish to assess: 3. The recruitment and randomisation processes 4. The extent of any intervention contamination These are all measured at the end of the trial. | — |
