Seventeen participants (77%) completed at least half of the sessions, and nine participants (40%) completed all eight sessions. Participant satisfaction was high, with all participants followed up rating the quality of the service they received as 'good' or 'excellent'. When compared to the Control Condition, people in the Treatment Condition demonstrated greater treatment effects on smoking and leisure screen time. There was only a negligible effect on servings of fruit and vegetable. Conclusions: Results were promising regarding the feasibility of peer-workers delivering BHC. Good retention rates and high consumer satisfaction ratings in the Treatment Condition demonstrated that peer-workers were capable of delivering the intervention to the extent that consumers found it beneficial. The current results suggest that a sufficiently powered, peer delivered randomised controlled trial of BHC is warranted.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:03:28 AEDT ]]> Feasibility and preliminary results of a call centre delivered continuing care intervention following residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51587 Mon 11 Sep 2023 15:18:01 AEST ]]>
