A is for the AZTEC, ABACUS & AML Trials - preventing lung damage in premature babies, helping people identify early signs of cancer or finding the best treatments in acute myeloid leukemia these are all challanging trials, but so worth it! #ResearchAtoZ @AZTEC_Trial @ABACus_3

Building relationships with community organisations and being flexible in methods of recruitment and data collection pay off. But as exemplified by @Katebrain @MohammadSaab7 @vicky_woof it’s resource and time intensive. Partnership building takes time! #uksbmcancersig webinar

What did we find?
Process evaluation & Health Economics work showed:
▶️Health Check was delivered as intended
▶️Health Check grp shared results with friends & family (social diffusion)
▶️Health Check = £91 per participant to deliver
▶️Highly likely to be cost effective
