Recruitment is complete!

Recruitment to the main randomised controlled trial (RCT) was completed in February 2010. We are delighted that we reached our target of 170 participants for the ACT NoW RCT. This was the minimum we needed to achieve a powerful study. A fabulous achievement thanks to phenomenal dedication and hard work from everyone.
