Thank you for visiting the CAPVA Study webpage.

The delivery phase of this study has now ended. Thank you to everyone who took part. Although the trial was finished early, we did collect data designed to learn about how it felt to take part in this research and what could be done differently in future work. We are now beginning the analysis of that data and when our final learning report is published, we will update this webpage.
