Responses suggest that most carers want the intervention to be delivered shortly after they had been told of a dementia diagnosis; this allows future social care planning and psychological preparation for the developing illness.
This allows future access to raw data.
The collaboration with correctional health could also allow for future intervention studies to decrease smoking post-release, with substantial public health benefit [ 40].
The study has been designed using a recently developed taxonomy of behaviour change techniques to reliably report the content of the intervention to allow future replication.
This study will allow future work to develop and evaluate an intervention specifically targeted to the barriers identified.
Preventive interventions may be more costly in the short term but will allow future savings.
Patient's NHS number, date of birth and postcode will also be retained to allow future data linkage for further assessment of sources of variation (ie, intensive care management, cardiovascular interventions) that influence survival rates.
The eight participants signed informed consent forms allowing the use of their digital story for a future intervention study, in addition to receiving remuneration for their time.
Even in the absence of growth in the target vessel a bioabsorbable stent would facilitate future intervention such as angioplasty and would allow for improved access to previously jailed side branches [ 4, 5].
To account for potential bias due to repeated measurement, future intervention studies should seek to recruit larger samples to allow robust statistical analyses, e.g. mixed-model design ANOVA.
