Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measured at baseline, on the day of the intervention and after the completion of the post-intervention interview, using audio recordings, reports from recruiters and memos of facilitators: 1. Feasibility-related outcomes (measure following criteria based on the pre-established checklist): 1.1. Recruitment and retention rates 1.2. Time required to recruit target sample size 1.3. Rate of completion of the intervention (number of participants who completed all the tasks of the intervention & how many participants completed each task) 1.4. Representation of farm population: farm type, age, gender 1.5. Barriers & facilitators (facilitators): Arranging the location, demonstration, and data collection 1.6. Home task completion status 1.7. Delivery mode 1.8. Structure of the program (length and content) 2. Acceptability-related outcomes: Assessment of acceptability of the intervention, its components and the delivery will be based on the theoretical framework for the acceptability of health care interventions: 2.1. Experienced acceptability of the intervention programme among participants. 2.2. Experienced acceptability of each key ingredient among participants 3. Fidelity-related outcomes: Fidelity will be measured using a pre-established checklist created based on the study design, purpose and fidelity framework for behaviour change research: 3.1. Fidelity of Intervention Design 3.2. Fidelity of Treatment providers 3.3. Fidelity of Treatment delivery 3.4. Fidelity of Receipt of Treatment 3.5. Fidelity of Enactment of Treatment Skills
