Emma Millard completed a PhD exploring patient preferences in the arts therapies using the preference element of the ERA trial. She completed a review about the effect of patient preferences in psychosocial interventions and a survey with community mental health patients to find out how many people have heard of the arts therapies, and which one they would choose as a preference.
Within the trial,l Emma interviewed some of the ERA participants to find out more about their experiences of choosing an arts modality in the trial.
