Understanding health research should be straightforward and accessible to everyone. To help explain the specific concepts and methods used throughout the Target Trials in Mental Health project, these video jargon busters were co-created by members of our Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) in partnership with The McPin Foundation.
LEAP members worked collaboratively throughout the design process - shaping the initial ideas, refining the messaging, guiding the animation style, and providing voiceover work.
In this jargon buster, follow two characters through a retro game environment and discover how a target trial differs from other ways of addressing research questions, such as a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Learn about the benefits and challenges of each approach, along with a breakdown of key terminology.
In this jargon buster, you will learn about different types of digital and talking therapies provided by the NHS. These therapies are compared in the Target Trials in Mental Health programme. You will also learn about real-world data and how this target trial aims to improve NHS care in the future.
