| Interventions | A mail shot of GPs able to refer the trained guides will inform GPs of the research project and help them to identify appropriate patients/participants. Once referred to the guide the participant will undergo that guide's service routine screening or assessment process. If the participant meets the inclusion criteria the project is explained to them verbally and in writing. The participant is also asked to make an appointment with their GP to obtain any relevant blood tests and get their BMI. If a participant is not suitable to participate or does not wish to they receive the treatment as usual from the service. After consent is given the guide contact's the researcher sending her the consent form. Participants details are anonymised and a code is used. The research randomised the participant to GSH or waiting list control. People randomised to the waiting list control group will remain on the service's waiting list for the amount of time they would usually have done if they were not taking part in the research. The researcher will also contact the participants GP to inform them of the participants involvement in the project. |
| Primary outcome measure(s) | It would evaluate the outcome of using the pack as compared to a group of people on the waiting list (in terms of mental health, and eating disordered behaviour and psychopathology), the effect of the therapeutic alliance on the GSH and the adherence to and usefulness of the pack as rated by users. |
