Public and patient involvement
The knowledge and attitudes of the women in a pilot study of CTG+STan versus CTG alone were separately researched and reported (14) and subsequently, more detailed psychosocial research was incorporated into the study protocol (8). This more detailed work has been submitted for publication as studies on both patient satisfaction (15) and psychosocial outcomes (16) (unpublished observations).
In this paper, the core outcome sets have not been included.
