About the study
The Looking Forward Project is a research study for young women aged 16-25 who are currently or recently not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) in East Anglia, Sussex, and Kent. The project is testing a new programme called HOPEFUL, designed to increase hope, wellbeing, and goal setting. Participants are randomly allocated either to receive HOPEFUL with support from a coach or to continue with usual support and access HOPEFUL after 12 months. The study involves completing questionnaires with a researcher at the start, 4 months, and 12 months, with a £20 voucher offered at each time point.
