The READY Trial: ‘University research team to explore impact of exercise in treating depression in teenagers’

A research team led by the University of Hertfordshire has won a £2.27m contract from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to investigate if exercise is a beneficial treatment for mild to moderate depression in young people aged 13-17.

Young Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire is a member of the Steering Group, and will be helping to design the programme.

Volunteers will be attending the next Young Persons’ Advisory Group Meeting on 21st March 2020.
