FReSH START is a research project aiming to develop a therapy intervention for adults who self-harm. We are now running a clinical trial to see if the therapy we developed is effective and if it improves people's quality of life. #introduction #mentalhealthresearch #selfharm #NIHR

At #CCR25, we saw some trials use a #CompositeOutcome (an endpoint that combines more than one outcome into a single measure) & also saw some of the problems these can throw up. I have discussed these before but thought it would be useful to revisit 1/9

Fern Harvey’s fab poster presentation of her systematic review on process evaluations for complex intervention trials. Better reporting of context, mechanisms of action and fidelity would enable greater learning about successful interventions #ImpSci #EIE2025 @au-primarycareuol.bsky.social

A cluster randomised crossover design incorporates the principles of both cluster trials (where groups of individuals eg wards, schools etc are randomly assigned) and crossover trials where, in this case, the clusters cross over to different treatment/s for set time periods 2/7

A common issue in trials is how to accommodate multiple important outcomes. Approaches include composite outcomes or using the win ratio method (I have posted on these before). A newer method is the #DOOR (Desirability of Outcome Ranking) approach 1/7
