Background to the project Fifteen years ago, the Sustainable Trials Study Group concluded that 'clinical trials contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.' and current estimates predict that the 350,000 trials registered on clinicaltrials.gov have a carbon usage of 27.5M tonnes. General recommendations targeting the reduction of carbon usage in research (NIHR Carbon Reduction Guidelines) were published in 2019 yet progress to decarbonise trials remains slow. Of the small number of studies that have explored carbon usage in clinical trials, factors such as trial team and participant related travel have been identified as key impacts. Of the sources of carbon usage across clinical trials many of these are linked to the role of human behaviour and rely on people (patients, clinicians, trial staff) performing actions (such as receiving or delivering a trial intervention, or attending a clinic). There are many influences on participants, trial staff, and clinicians' behaviours within clinical trials. These trial-related environmental behaviours are common across trial designs and clinical contexts often contextually dependent and amenable to change. Applying behavioural science to the problem of carbon usage in clinical trials offers critical, replicable, and generalisable insights for the clinical trials community.this studentship aims to address this knowledge gap by applying behavioural science to investigate the key challenges and opportunities for delivery of low carbon trials.what the studentship will encompass:this studentship aims to identify the challenges and opportunities for delivery of low carbon trials. Specifically, it will:1. determine which carbon 'hotspots' across the trial lifecycle (design, conduct, analysis, and reporting) can be considered as priority pro-environmental behaviours that are potentially amenable to change (literature review and re-analysis of process map)2. Identify key opportunities and challenges faced by trial teams in relation to pro-environmental behaviours related to trial design, conduct, analysis, and reporting (interviews/focus groups and survey)3. Develop pro-environmental behaviour change intervention(s) to target trial teams during the trial lifecycle and establish feasibility and acceptability (behaviour change intervention development and participatory approaches)4. Produce a 'how-to' guide for trial teams on how to develop and implement behavioural diagnostics and solutions for supporting low carbon trials.

该项目十五年前的背景，可持续试验研究小组得出结论，“临床试验有助于温室气体排放”。目前的估计预测，在ClinicalTrials.gov上注册的350,000次试验的碳使用量为2750万吨。针对减少研究中碳使用量的一般建议（NIHR碳减少指南）在2019年发表，但脱碳试验的进展仍然很慢。在探索临床试验中碳使用量的少量研究中，诸如试验团队和与参与者相关的旅行等因素被确定为关键影响。在临床试验中的碳使用源中，其中许多与人类行为的作用有关，并依靠人（患者，临床医生，试验人员）执行行动（例如接受或提供试验干预措施或参加诊所）。在临床试验中，对参与者，审判人员和临床医生的行为有很多影响。这些与试验相关的环境行为在试验设计和临床环境中很常见，通常依赖于上下文，并且可以改变。 Applying behavioural science to the problem of carbon usage in clinical trials offers critical, replicable, and generalisable insights for the clinical trials community.this studentship aims to address this knowledge gap by applying behavioural science to investigate the key challenges and opportunities for delivery of low carbon trials.what the studentship will encompass:this studentship aims to identify the challenges and opportunities for delivery of low carbon trials.具体来说，它将：1。确定整个试验生命周期中哪些碳“热点”（设计，行为，分析和报告）可以被视为优先级的亲环境行为，这些行为可能可能适合变化（文献综述和重新分析过程图）2。确定试验团队在与试验设计，进行，分析和报告有关的亲环境行为方面面临的关键机会和挑战（访谈/焦点小组和调查）3。在试验生命周期期间，开发前环境行为变化干预措施为目标试验小组，并确定可行性和可接受性（行为改变干预开发和参与式方法）4。为如何开发和实施支持低碳试验的行为诊断和解决方案的试验团队制作“操作方法”指南。
