Ethics declaration
: The authors declare no competing interests. During the BRIGHT trial, CH was a member of the NIHR HTA commissioning committee and Deputy Chair, member of NIHR CTU Standing Advisory Committee, HTA Post-Funding Committee teleconference and HTA Funding Committee Policy Group (formerly CSG).
: Ethical approval was granted by East of Scotland Research Ethics Service (ref: 17/ES/0096). Opt-out consent was obtained from parents and written consent from eligible pupils. If parents/carers did not return an opt-out form within the two-week window, it was assumed they were happy for their child to decide themselves if they would like to participate. Parents/carers could withdraw their child at any point over the trial. Children of parents who had not returned an opt-out form were then invited to participate and could decide whether or not to take part.
