Shedding light on research participation effects in behaviour change trials
These participants described no dramatic impacts attributable to taking part in this study. This study demonstrates the likely value of well conducted qualitative studies of subtle research participation effects, which may be particularly important to explore for alcohol. Separating unintended influences in trial participation from the effects of behaviour change interventions being evaluated therein is necessary for valid estimates of interventi…
Exploring the impact of telehealth on the work of frontline health professionals within the Whole System Demonstrator study
A central aim of the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) programme is to find out how telehealth can help people manage their own long-term health conditions and to evaluate the potential benefits of this technological intervention within a randomised control trial. However, the adoption of this intervention at local level will entail significant changes in practice of care, in the division of health care work and in traditional professional-patient …

It focuses on the characteristics of service users, particularly contrasting the looked after and EBD groups. Though there are some similarities, there are also important differences between the populations i…
