Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate

Participants allocated to the immediate arm will receive 6 months of Social support groups delivered in EVA Park immediately after randomisation. They will be re-assessed in Month 7, then receive 6 months of usual care, followed by reassessment in month 14.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Social support groups delivered in EVA Park

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intervention will comprise support group meetings delivered in EVA Park, a virtual island created for people with aphasia. Scheduled meetings will be held every two weeks, led by the group co-ordinator and volunteers. Participants will have unlimited access to EVA Park, so will be able to meet up with other group members between meetings.

Wait list control

Participants allocated to the wait list control arm will receive 6 months of usual care after randomisation. They will be re-assessed in month 7, and will then receive 6 months of social support groups delivered in EVA Park, with reassessment in month 14.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Social support groups delivered in EVA Park

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
