Patient and family co-developed participant information to improve recruitment rates, retention, and patient understanding of a randomised trial
SWAT: 100
Objective of this SWAT:
To examine if participant information co-developed by patients and their families can lead to greater recruitment rates, retention, and participant understanding of the study in comparison to standard participation information leaflets in the Rehabilitation Strategies following Oesophagogastric and Hepatopancreaticobiliary Cancer (ReStOre II) trial.
Specific objectives are;
• To engage with patients with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer, namely oesophageal/gastric/pancreatic/liver cancer and their family members to develop participant information for ReStOre II.
• To examine the impact of the patient and family co-developed participant information on ReStORe II recruitment rates.
• To determine the impact of the patient and family co-developed participant information on ReStOre II retention rates.
• To explore the impact of the patient and family co-developed participant information on patient’s understanding of the ReStORe II trial.
