Feasibility indicator

Assessment

aRecruitment rate

% of participants recruited/time

bRetention rate

% of participants who complete T1, T2, and T3 outcome assessments

Descriptive data on participants who leave the study early-therapy group (intervention v’s control), # of sessions completed, cited reason for leaving.

Inclusion criteria

Completion rate of referral form by clinical contact

Descriptive data on reasons for exclusion from study

% of participants referred to study who meet inclusion criteria

Randomisation procedure

Evaluation of 1:1 ratio at end of trial (# of intervention participants: # control participants)

Logged data on any errors made

Blinding procedure

Blinding in this trial will be assessed by asking blinded assessors to guess the trial group assignment and comparing these responses to what would be expected by chance

Logged data on unblinding occurrences during trial

Adherence/intervention duration/therapy dosage

# of therapy sessions completed per participant

Time spent on CIRCuiTS (at-home work) per participant. (logged on CIRCuiTS software platform)

Time spent on at-home behavioural experiments (logged per participant throughout trial)

Therapy fidelity

Completion rate of clinical supervision sessions

Completion rate of fidelity checklists

Therapist time- in session

Total time spent by therapist in session and documentation per month (data logged throughout study)

Therapist time- remote support

Total time spent communicating via email, text, or phone outside of therapy session per month (data logged throughout study)

Clinical supervision

# of clinical supervision sessions per month

Software

Total cost of CIRCuiTs license software per month

Running costs

Total cost of study expenses per month, e.g. study phone

Participant reimbursement

Total cost of participant reimbursement for assessment sessions per month

cQualitative study

Reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interview data
