Declarations
:
: Research approvals from the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee (reference: 108304) were obtained to undertake the study overall (which included a pilot phase and interviews with participants and service providers). Co-production that informed intervention development was classified as Patient and Public Involvement. Therefore, the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee has waived consent for this study. However, good research practice was followed throughout. Prior to the co-production activities, the researcher explained the purpose and procedures of the activity, and explicitly asked the respondent if they understood everything, and wanted to contribute. They were also informed they could stop the activity at any time. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Pilot intervention participants consented to anonymised direct quotes being used in publications resulting from the study.
