Recruitment Progress

The recruitment stage of the PEACH Study has finished at the end of November 2008. We have successfully recruited 59 practices with over 468 patients.

The COACH training session for practices recruited in the fourth round has been completed. Practice nurses are completing telephone coaching calls to patients in intervention groups.
The 12-month follow up assessment has commenced in July 2008.

12 month follow-up data has been collected for first and second round practices. The collection of 18 month follow-up data for first round practices and second round will be taking place in January to June 2009.
