Publications

We have two planned publications prior to the completion of the main INSPIRE Study

  1. INSPIRE Pilot Study

Due to the large scale nature of the INSPIRE Study, we have planned a pilot study to assess key feasibility metrics and assumptions.

We plan to publish the results of the pilot and feasibility study by the end of 2026.

  1. INSPIRE Ambassador Program

We have embedded a randomized controlled trial into the INSPIRE Study to assess the effectiveness of the Ambassador Program in enhancing study efficiency.

We plan to publish the results of the pilot and feasibility study by end of 2026.

Upon completion of recruitment in mid-2026, we plan to submit the results of the primary analyses for publication by the end of 2026, for publication in early 2027.

Subsequent manuscripts for the qualitative and long-term follow-up data are planned for 2027 and beyond.
