Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Acceptability of the intervention measured using: 1.1. The Acceptability Intervention Measure (AIM) at 6 months post-randomisation (intervention participants only) 1.2. Intervention uptake, attendance, and attrition throughout the study 1.3. Interviews with intervention participants and intervention facilitators at 6 months post-randomisation 2. Feasibility of a full-scale trial measured using: 2.1. Participant recruitment data at the end of recruitment 2.2. Monitoring the quantity and quality of accelerometer-derived physical activity data collected at baseline, 3 months post-randomisation, and 6 months post-randomisation 2.3. Interviews with intervention participants and intervention facilitators at 6 months post-randomisation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Physical activity measured using accelerometer data at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 2. Sedentary behaviour measured using accelerometer data at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 3. Body mass index (BMI) calculated using height and weight measurements at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 4. Severity of depression measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 5. Severty of generalised anxiety disorder measured using the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 6. Self-reported physical activity and edentary behaviour measured using the Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 7. Health-related quality-of-life measured using the EuroQoL 5D-5L (EQ5D-5L) questionnaire at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 8. Health-related quality-of-life measured using the Short Form Health Questionnaire - 12 (SF-12) at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 9. Mental health-related quality-of-life measured using the Recovering Quality of Life (ReQol) at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation 10. Healthcare resource use measured using a bespoke healthcare service use questionnaire (collecting participant’s use of primary, secondary, and community healthcare services, with special attention paid to physical activity and mental health related services) at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-randomisation
