UPDATES
COVID-19 update October 2020
The study was paused in March 2020, due to coronavirus restrictions. Since then, we have made amendments to the study protocol to include safety measures; protecting volunteers and researchers during the study. These have been approved by ethics committee and we are now recruiting again. We have updated the information sheet to include information on coronavirus, and more of our assessments are now online, to minimise face to face interaction.
