The Solutions Trial

The Solutions Trial is a randomised controlled trial comparing solution-focused brief therapy to routine services for young people aged 10 to 17 years who have been arrested within the area served by Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.

We’ve randomised 178 young people! 🥳🎉

Are you aged 10 - 17? Been in trouble with the police in the last 6 months? You could be eligible to take part in the @SolutionsTrial research study! Participants will receive Amazon vouchers for completing questionnaires and have the chance of receiving 6 therapy sessions.

Did you know you don’t have to be living with a condition to help make a difference with research? Find out more about volunteering without a condition here ⬇️ bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/taking-part/vo…

There are different ways you can #BePartOfResearch, from taking part in a clinical trial, to helping shape research. Learn about how you can get involved as a public contributor to help decide what research is funded and how it's carried out: nihr.ac.uk/get-involved

Together, we are @cardiffuni @unibirmingham @uniofwarwick @WeAreLSCFT and funded by @YouthEndowFund with help from @youthvoiceslsc

We’re still recruiting from all over England and you can find out more here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/cidd/c…
