| 1. Rates of mood problems, recruitment, giving consent, completing treatments and completing outcome questionnaires. 2. The type and amount of missing data found on each questionnaire and whether this missing information could be obtained by telephone follow-up will be determined. These data will also indicate any problems of outcome questionnaires being sent by post and the ease of answering these. 3. The scores from the questionnaires to compute sample-size and power calculations for the future Phase III RCT. 4. The feasibility of using the service-use questionnaire by examining rates of completion, and fidelity of response. 5. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted to look for differences in intervention provision according to location. By recording the dates of recruitment, randomisation, and surgery, we will be able to assess how the intervention fits within the existing patient pathway. 6. Time-sampling, based on minute-by-minute coding of content, and saliency analysis of intervention transcripts to document the content and delivery of the intervention. This will help us develop the final manual for the Phase III RCT. 7. The effectiveness of the participatory research model will be evaluated through an examination of the research diaries, and through an in-depth interview with patient-partners. Measured using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, EQ5D, Service-use questionnaire. | — |
