Can we achieve better trial recruitment by presenting patient information through multimedia? Meta-analysis of ‘studies within a trial’ (SWATs) (2023)
Journal Article

Background: People need high-quality information to make decisions about research participation. Providing information in written format alone is conventional but may not be the most effective and acceptable approach. We developed a structure for the...

Transient elastography and video recovery narrative access to support recovery from alcohol misuse: development of a novel intervention for use in community alcohol treatment services (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Mortality from alcohol-related liver disease has risen significantly for three decades. Transient elastography (TE) is a non-invasive test providing a numerical marker of liver disease. Preliminary evidence suggests that receiving TE can...

Does knowledge of liver fibrosis affect high-risk drinking behaviour (KLIFAD): an open-label pragmatic feasibility randomised controlled trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Early identification followed by effective behaviour interventions is pivotal to changing the natural history of alcohol-related liver disease. We examined the feasibility of using transient elastography based advice and alcohol recovery...

Developing guidance for a risk-proportionate approach to blinding statisticians within clinical trials: a mixed methods study (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Existing guidelines recommend statisticians remain blinded to treatment allocation prior to the final analysis and that any interim analyses should be conducted by a separate team from the one undertaking the final analysis. However, ther... Read More about Developing guidance for a risk-proportionate approach to blinding statisticians within clinical trials: a mixed methods study.
