Overview

We are inviting pregnant women and birthing people, aged 18 or over and between 12 and 20 weeks pregnant, to take part in the Acorn II study.

In a previous small study, we developed and tested a support programme called CALM with pregnant people experiencing anxiety, the CALM programme helped to reduce their symptoms of anxiety.

We now want to run a larger trial to see if CALM can improve anxiety during pregnancy and whether these benefits last up to a year after the baby is born.

Overview

We aim to assess the usefulness of blood sample tests for dementia in people seen in memory clinics across the United Kingdom.

We will focus a lot of recruitment of people from backgrounds that are not often involved in research, for example the very elderly, ethnic minorities, and those in deprived areas or with multiple illnesses, etc.

The study is aiming to recruit up to 3165 participants from across the United Kingdom.
