Table 2 Overview of analyses for the feasibility study objectives
From: Feasibility of a secondary school-based mental health intervention: Reprezents’ On The Level
Objective | Outcomes | Measures | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
1. Acceptability, engagement and demand for the OTL intervention | Acceptability | - Participant acceptability, satisfaction, intent to use services/tools, evaluation of OTL (T1 and T2 post-show), and preference for future OTL intervention - School staff member acceptability, ease of use, and importance and need for OTL intervention | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies |
Engagement | - Participant use of support services and/or tools (T2) | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies | |
2. Feasibility of implementing the intervention | Recruitment (setting-level) | - % schools contacted, interested, and participated | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies |
Reach (individual-level) | - % potentially eligible, excluded, and participated | - Descriptive statistics -Frequencies | |
Retention (setting- and individual-level) | - No. of enrolled schools returned to follow-up - No. of enrolled participants that completed follow-up | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies | |
Differential attrition | - Comparison of (a) responders, partial- and non-responders, and (b) matched and non-matched participants | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies - Chi-Square | |
3. Feasibility of study methods | Data collection | - Proportion of participant responses (responders) and incomplete responses (partial and non-responders) for baseline, post-intervention and follow-up survey measures - Data collected as intended at key timepoints (pre-, during, post-show) | - Descriptive statistics - Frequencies |
Longitudinal tracking | -% of participants matched at baseline and follow-up | -Descriptive statistics - Frequencies | |
4. Need for mental health intervention & feasibility of outcome measures | - Mental Health outcome pre-intervention - Differences observed in mental health outcome measures (between T1 and T2) | - Anxietya, Depressiona, Life satisfactiona, Well-beingb, Perceived stressc, Locus of controld, Sleep, Screen time | - Descriptive statistics - Median (IQR) - Wilcoxon Signed-Rank |
