Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialGoal-oriented cognitive rehabilitation for early-stage Alzheimer's and related dementias: the GREAT RCT.
Cognitive rehabilitation (CR) is an individualised, person-centred intervention for people with mild to moderate dementia that addresses the impact of cognitive impairment on everyday functioning. ⋯ Next steps will focus on the implementation of CR into NHS and social care services and on extending the approach to people with rarer forms of dementia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialSexual risk reduction interventions for patients attending sexual health clinics: a mixed-methods feasibility study.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to represent a major public health challenge. There is evidence that behavioural interventions to reduce risky sexual behaviours can reduce STI rates in patients attending sexual health (SH) services. However, it is not known if these interventions are effective when implemented at scale in SH settings in England. ⋯ We were unable to conclude whether or not a definitive RCT would be feasible because of challenges in implementation of a pilot, but have laid the groundwork for future research in the area.
