Mind Cymru have made a new social prescribing service, where a link worker works with a patient who has mild/moderate mental or emotional health problems, to understand their needs and set them goals for the future. The link worker will then help them find a service in their local community that might help them achieve their goals.\n\nThe study uses a waitlist trial, which means that some participants will get to meet the link worker and have the intervention straight away, while others will have to wait for 20 working days. From this, the researchers can compare the people who had the intervention straight away with the people who had to wait. Scores on well-being, quality of life and loneliness questionnaires will be used to see the effects of the intervention on patients, whilst information like patient attendance at the General Practioner surgery will be used to see if there is a difference in the patient's use of health services.", 'detailedDescription': 'This trial will employ a randomised wait-list control design. The study has been co-designed with the research team at University of South Wales, Mind Cymru, the link workers and General Practioners working within the study sites.\n\nThe study will assess the effectiveness of services provided through making three sets of comparisons (based on a set of individual- and service-level outcomes over time - comparing between: - The four Local Mind sites (Merthyr and Valleys, Vale of Clwyd, Brecon and District, Ystradgynlais);\n\n* Those who complete the intervention immediately, with those who are in the waitlist group;\n* Those who fully complete the social prescribing intervention with those who do not complete or partially the full social prescription but receive care as usual (either because they do not attend or only partially attend); and Participants will be randomly allocated to receive the social prescribing link worker intervention either immediately, or after a waiting period of 20 working days. Participants will be recruited through consultations with healthcare professionals, either their General Practioner, a practice nurse or the Total Nurse Triage system within the doctors surgery. If the healthcare professional identifies that the prospective participant meets the eligibility criteria of the study (experiencing mild/moderate mental health and/or emotional wellbeing disorders, aged 18+ and registered with a General Practioners in Wales), they will provide the prospective participant with an information pack, and ask for permission to contact. If this permission is given they will be subsequently contacted by the link worker at least 2 working days later, to gain verbal consent and for baseline data collection and randomisation.\n\nThe study recruitment target is 1,000 participants, randomized into two groups (a control group, n = 500 and an intervention group n = 500). The sample collected across the 3 General Practice clusters over the 24-month period that the study is open. An attrition rate of 5% is expected. Recruitment will end after 18-months, allowing for 6 months to complete the study and follow-up on participants. The service may continue independently of the study.\n\nData will be collected at a maximum of five time points:\n\n* Prior to randomisation to either the immediate or wait-list arm\n* For wait-list controls: in a reminder telephone call at the end of the 20 day wait\n* At the end of their intervention with the link worker\n* Four weeks after the end of their intervention with the link worker\n* Three months after the end of the previous data collection point Data will be collected either over the telephone or during the intervention with the link workers. All link workers who are collecting data will have study specific training for receiving consent and data collection.\n\nThe study will take place over a 24-month period, with participant recruitment lasting a total of 18-months. Data analysis will take place at the end of the 24-month period, although transfer of data from the link workers to the research team at University of South Wales will be continuous over the 24-month period.
