Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Trial recruitment rates: the proportion of patients who agree to participate in the host trial, from the total number of patients approached, for each arm of the embedded trial at baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Rates of retention of children and adolescents in the six host trials, measured by obtaining data on the number and timing of drop outs from each host trial at end/completion date of each of the six trials. 2. Quality of decision-making by respondents. The quality of decision-making by participants is a subjective outcome measure and will be measured at baseline through the completion of a quality of decision-making scale by children, adolescents and parents (as relevant).
