It is also the first to involve stroke survivors and stroke nurses in the design and development of a tailored, person-centred stroke self-management support intervention, comprising individualised, systematic assessment of stroke survivors' needs, expectations and abilities to self-manage and aligning nurses' provision of support towards these.
To our knowledge, this is the first UK study to explore the use of patient activation as a theoretical underpinning in stroke self-management research and to involve stroke survivors and stroke nurses in the design and development of a tailored, person-centred stroke self-management support intervention.
This is the first study in the UK to explore the use of 'patient activation' to underpin the design and development of a tailored, person-centred stroke self-management support intervention, comprising individualised, systematic assessment of stroke survivors' needs, expectations and abilities to self-manage and aligning nurses' provision of support towards these.
The ACHIEVE Trial is tailored to persons with serious mental illness in community settings.

Psycho-social interventions focusing on enhancing the mental health of older adults, targeting meaningful social activities, and tailoring the person's abilities and preferences significantly improved positive mental health and quality of life and decreased depressive symptoms (Forsman, Nordmyr and Wahlbeck 2011).
CAT utilizes the invariance property under the Rasch or IRT models to create an algorithm by which each person receives a test that is tailored to the person's level so that the questions are neither too difficult nor too easy and usually contain fewer items than conventional non-adaptive measures [ 19].
The finding also means the glycaemic index (GI) of a food, which scientists use to rank its blood sugar impact, cannot be measured objectively but should be tailored to each individual person.
The degree to which the communications in therapy are tailored to the individual person's needs is also a variable worth exploring.
Lastly, beacons placed strategically in open houses could point out specific features tailored to each person based on their preferences allowing for a much more personalized experience.
