Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary outcomes of interest relate to the following markers of feasibility and acceptability. 1.Uptake, recruitment and retention rates (Uptake and recruitment rates: proportion of people who were told about the study /were eligible for the study , who decide to take part. Retention rates: proportion of participants who complete T2 questionnaires) 2.Data analytics (patterns and duration of use) to measure engagement with intervention via LifeGuide+ embedded tools (measured throughout the course of the intervention) 3.Written feedback and associated rating scale completed by intervention users after watching the videos 4.Feedback from interviews with patients about the intervention and from focus groups with health care staff about its deliverability (Interviews will take place around 3 weeks after the individual has first accessed the intervention, focus groups will take place within 6/9 months of beginning to deliver the intervention) 5.Self-reported questionnaires related to the acceptability (Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)) and feasibility (Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)) of the intervention (Weiner et al., 2017) (Measured post-intervention) 6.Completion of outcome measures (see 'Secondary outcomes' below) in terms of levels of missing data and their acceptability and relevance | — |

| In order to obtain proof-of-concept data related to the intervention we will also ask participants to complete the following secondary outcome measures before and after engaging with the intervention: 1. ED symptoms measured via the Eating Disorders-15 (ED-15) scale (Tatham et al., 2015). 2. Emotional knowledge and ability, assessed via three questionnaires.
