Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
A local PHO will recruit participants through their database. They will make telephone contact with them and ask if they would like to be part of a study. Interested individuals will have their details passed onto the researcher who will then make contact with them and provide additional information. Participants will be allocated a participant number on recruitment, and then randomized to the control group or intervention group through an internet number randomizer. Allocation will be consealed as the person recruiting participants will not know which group they will be part of until the complete number of participants have been recruited.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Internet number generator

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size selected in this study is 20 participants. This is based on recommendations of not having more than 5-7 participants per group session if it is facilitated by one facilitator. We have decided to over recruit slightly in case some participants are unable to attend the group session on the day. Given this study is a pilot study we did not recruit based on power calculations. We realise that this will impact on the statistical tests that we run. We plan to use one way repeated measures ANOVA or Friedman's ANOVA.
