Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome of the trial will be assessing the feasibility and acceptability of digitalized aftercare (SECOND WIND mobile application) for individuals with substance use disorder (clients) who completed residential drug rehabilitation in Sri Lanka. The feasibility of enrolling clients, counselors, and outreach officers into the SECOND WIND mobile application will be assessed using a screening log, at the initial stage of the study. The feasibility of the digitalized follow-up will be assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the metadata log files of the SECOND WIND mobile application during the follow-up period. The acceptability of the stakeholders (clients, counselors, and outreach officers) will be assessed via in-depth interviews at the end of the follow-up period.	—
