The EQUATOR Network and CONSORT statement

We are currently finishing writing a journal article about a randomised controlled trial. It is really helpful to have the following website to guide the design and writing of papers:

The EQUATOR Network | Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of Health Research http://www.equator-network.org/

We have used the CONSORT statement and flow diagram for our current research: http://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/consort/

Waiting for Speech Pathology website is launched

Over the past few years we have been working on developing and testing a new website to support families while they are waiting for speech pathology. The research was funded by a NSW Health Translational Research Grant and undertaken via collaboration with speech pathologists from Western NSW Local Health District and Charles Sturt University. Our randomised controlled trials have now ended, we have made a few final revisions to the website as a result of feedback during the research, and the website is now live:

https://wnswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/our-services/speech-pathology

It will be launched at the Speech Pathology Australia National Conference in Brisbane next week.

Waiting for Speech Pathology research underway

This week we finished the Waiting for Speech Pathology website and are ready for the first participants to be assessed for the randomised controlled trial beginning next week. We spent time going over data collection, storage, labeling, randomisation protocols, and the CONSORT statement guidelines (http://www.consort-statement.org) to make sure we were on track.
