Meaningful Activities and Recovery (MA & amp;R): the effect of a novel rehabilitation intervention among persons with psychiatric disabilities on activity engagement —study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

This study adds new knowledge to a field with limited evidence, i.e. the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions among people with psychiatric disabilities, directly targeting activity engagement. The pragmatic design, regarding in- and exclusion criteria and settings, may allow assessment of the intervention ’s effect under real-life conditions. The randomization, adequate power and fidelity monitoring allow testing of the intervention’s efficacy. The multicentre study design increases the potential for implementation in various mental health settings if the findings are positive. As the nature of t he intervention does not permit blinding of the participants or staff, it may increase the risk of expectancy and performance bias. This must be considered when interpreting the findings.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.govNCT03963245. Registered on 29 May 2019
