The TRECA Study is evaluating the impact of multimedia websites on recruitment and retention into paediatric clinical trials & on the quality of decision-making
TRECA main results paper now in BMC Medicine: rdcu.be/df4lR . Using multimedia instead of printed sheets increased trial recruitment in children & teens. Pooled data, 3 SWATs: OR 1.54 (1.05, 2.28) p=0.03. Overall, mutlimedia recruitment rate 69%, printed sheet rate 64%.
Our SR on video animations for informing patients. 38 mostly small trials comparing animation with other formats. Consistent positive effects on knowledge; mixed findings on attitudes & behaviours. Better trials needed! doi.org/10.3389/fdgth.2022.1…
SWAT paper #2 from TRECA published, set within the FORCE trial. Multimedia information had non-significant effects on trial recruitment compared to printed sheets, but found easier to understand and evaluated more positively: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/7…
Excited that our latest paper from the @TRECAstudy is published! We describe the benefits of using an interactive ranking exercise in interviews to help co-design multimedia websites. And it’s OPEN ACCESS! 🙂@UoL_HC_Research#CYP#HealthTech

New TRECA SWAT paper, set in Thermic-3 children's cardiac surgery trial: dx.doi.org/10.12688/f1000res…
Digital, multimedia information increased recruitment (by 14%) compared to printed info, but v small SWAT, not statistically significant.
1st outcomes paper from @TRECAStudy: small RCT, teens in hypothetical setting. Multimedia vs printed trial information. Multimedia: more ratings of 'easy to understand' (80% vs 57%) & 'confident in decision' (83% vs 73%). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
