Educational / counselling / training
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Baseline data collection is blinded and will be undertaken before randomisation. Allocation will be concealed by using sealed, numbered, opaque envelopes; list generation will be provided by researcher off site, after randomisation. Patients are not blinded to ‘intervention’ and surveys do not have group ID, thus data entry is blinded.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table (computerised sequence generation) will be used.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
