Evaluation of COPe-support online resource for carers
We have just completed a nationwide online randomised controlled trial (RCT) of COPe-support to evaluate its effectiveness in improving carers’ wellbeing and caregiving experience. Thank you so much to over 400 carers across England who have participated in the study and trialled out COPe-support.
Watch this space as we anticipate to have the trial results analysed by early Spring 2021. We will share the trial results with all the participants and report that briefly in this space.
