The RAPID Trial, funded by the National Institute for Health Research’s Health Technology Assessment programme, is a 38 month randomised controlled trial, led by Professor Tony Morrison, which builds on our track record of collaborative research on psychological interventions for people with psychosis and other serious mental health problems, by evaluating the possible benefits of 2 remotely delivered, brief psychosocial interventions. It will compare a safety planning intervention delivered by assistant psychologists with a semi-structured peer support intervention designed to help people manage suicidal thoughts. All interventions will be compared with treatment as usual from a home-based treatment team. We will conduct this research across 5 areas in the UK (Manchester, East London, Glasgow, North East London and Oxford).  

The Talking With Voices Trial is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation Programme.

We will conduct this research across 4 areas in the UK (Manchester, London, Newcastle, and Oxford).
