The Out-and-About Trial: Improving the quality of life by increasing outdoor journeys after stroke
Key objective
To determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of implementation of a program designed to increasing outdoor journeys in patients following a stroke
The out-and-about trial is a multi-site project using a two-group cluster randomised controlled trial design. The study will be conducted in Sydney and has been funded under the NHMRC Project Grant Scheme.
The Primary aim is to determine the efficacy of an implementation program to change team behaviour. We hypothesise that by providing an implementation training program to experimental teams, their practice will improve and people with stroke will benefit by getting out more often, and travelling further.
