Excellent resource, appreciate this, just had some queries about the evidence around the interviews. I have checked the original article and hyperlinks and can not find where they have used interviews, can you please point me in the right direction please. Kindest regards Seema

Hi Chucha, I’m really glad you like the resources. The interviews are quoted in the original study as follows:
Qualitative results
Flow of recruitment for qualitative study
By 30 June 2021, 143 participants had been discharged from COMPASS, of whom 100 (69.9%) had consented to be contacted for interview. A total of 69 patients were ineligible for interview: 67 had only a PPS diagnosis, one did not speak English and one had no internet or smart device access. Of the 31 eligible partici- pants, three could not be contacted at all and seven were lost to follow-up (see Fig. 1). This gave an interview consent rate of 67.7%.

It is well worth a read by teachers to get a more holistic flavour of the research. However, the ‘full’ may overwhelm students and confuse them so may be best kept for teachers at your centre.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need any other information.
Regards Gonzales

Seema, I also forgot to mention, there are extracts from the participants semi-structured interviews on the Pearson pre-release and the main report, which may also be of use. Good luck with it, Gonzales.
